Re: zcash, pirate chain, monero, prcy, which is the best coin for future of privacy?
What about the Secret Network? Doesn't that count as programmable privacy?
Well, Secret Network uses TEE technology, which implies a trust in tamperproofness of hardware. While this doesn't adhere to cryptocurrency ideals, it may have its own use cases.
Funny thing is that ZK-STARKS also promised to remove the issue of a trusted setup. Yet, for some reason, developers chose another path with the introduction of Halo2.
Ideas of Halo were further explored by other people: KiloNova a ZK-PCD was obtained without ZK-SNARKS and ZK-STARKS.
