There's a lot of cool privacy stuff you can do with zero-knowledge tech (not necessarily blockchain) but the biggest problem is that companies can just... not adopt that tech because they'd make less money.

i see. that's a game theory lens.

while it probably makes sense for certain consumer data companies, do you think about cases where poor data security/privacy actually harms the company? eg: when sensitive company data gets leaked during third-party interactions?

Then you get into the fact that the tech is really complex and slow so the cost doesn't offset the benefits.

well, bringing the cost down is probably just a matter of time, isn't it?

what i think is more important is finding form factors of using zK that make sense to enterprises. from outgoing api calls to file sharing, the scope of vulnerabilities is extremely large.
