My favourite privacy play that is more than a demo environment š¤
It is easy to make zero-knowledge technology look impressive when one carefully prepared transaction is doing all the work.
The harder question is what happens when software starts generating transactions continuously.
That matters as autonomous activity grows across networks like $FET , where agents are designed to find each other and transact without waiting for a human to approve every interaction. It doesnāt stop there either, other chains like $TAO are building the rails for agentic environments.
Midnight already has an interesting test environment for this.
Midnight City has autonomous agents generating real transactions and real zero-knowledge proofs on the network. The same activity can then produce different views for the public, auditors and regulators depending on what each party is permitted to see.
That is a much more interesting test of programmable privacy than hiding one transfer.
The application has to keep producing proofs while the agents keep doing things.
Crypto has spent years benchmarking transactions per second.
I think we are going to need another benchmark for this new meta. How much private computation can applications actually sustain once the machines start transacting for us?
