This was an idea that was brainstormed from a conversation between me and Jacek when I asked him what “nuclear” content could be created such that a large amount of understanding can be had from a relatively small amount of work. I had shown him some previous thoughts in this angle via my talk at Devcon and a previous blog post of our for Status that were similar in nature.
Having this article completed signifies a number of things:
- if we’re able to sufficiently write this article, then it is clear we as an organization understand the stack we’re building and how it all fits together, and what properties we’re getting as we traverse data through the system.
- we’re able to create derivative content from this one explaining the differentiators of our system from others by showing where in the lifecycle manipulation can happen to a transaction that ours maintains integrity.
This then serves as evergreen reference content to continue providing clarity broadly and derive more specialized content from.
progress:
- I’ve used Claude Opus 4.5 Research to give an example of such an article and altered it a bit. This can be read at blockchain_privacy_leaks. Note that this article is focused on identifying the various places in which information can be leaked such that we can write additional articles that show how we’re addressing these issues.
