What exactly is "trust" on the blockchain? This is a question worth pondering.

Looking at the current mainstream L2 solutions, the trust relationships are actually quite fragile — you have to hope that the sequencer operation team won't censor transactions, won't manipulate with black boxes, and won't experience system outages. In simple terms, this is placing risk on individuals, which is fundamentally unacceptable to institutional investors.

One idea is to readjust the trust anchor points. Instead of trusting people, it's better to trust mathematics and cryptography. The logic behind @0xMiden's solution is exactly this — the entire system is designed so that you don't need to trust any intermediaries at all. All you need are verifiable, transparent, and independently verifiable zero-knowledge proofs. In this way, trust shifts directly from "personality" to "mathematics," and the stability is completely on a different level.
