ZAMA's privacy solution feels like it's missing the mark honestly. The whole approach just doesn't seem to deliver on what people actually need from privacy tech in this space.

It's another high-minded, yet underwhelming product. ZAMA's privacy solution is essentially just theoretical; the market will ultimately provide the answer.

ngl After looking at so many privacy projects, Zama's approach is indeed a bit disappointing... The promised solution still turns out to be the same old thing, and it really doesn't solve the actual problem.

When it comes to privacy technology, Zama indeed talks a good game but can't deliver. Having theory alone is useless.

From a technical perspective, the ZAMA privacy solution indeed has several obvious structural problems that are worth exploring in depth. Research shows that most current homomorphic encryption implementations are caught in a trade-off between computational efficiency and privacy guarantees. Data indicates that their throughput bottleneck is basically at the millisecond level, far from meeting the threshold requirements for practical applications. Based on the following points: First, the verification cost of zero-knowledge proof is too high; second, the liquidity in privacy pools is severely fragmented; third, there is a lack of user-friendly interaction design at the user experience level. In summary, this is not simply a "missed the mark" situation, but the entire technical route needs a fundamental reconstruction. It is recommended to refer to the paper "The Case for Privacy-Preserving Smart Contracts," which analyzes in detail why purely on-chain privacy solutions are always hampered.

nah ZAMA's whole architecture screams "we built this without stress testing the actual use case" tbh. their correlation matrix with real market needs? basically nonexistent. seen this movie before—it's giving 2017 ICO vibes where everyone forgot protocol vulnerabilities exist
