ZKPs, FHE, MPC: Managing Private State in Blockchains

Bitcoin and Ethereum have eliminated intermediaries in financial transactions but sacrificed privacy. With the development of zero-knowledge proof technology, on-chain privacy has become a core theme of Web 3. Aztec and Aleo are two promising networks. ZKP is suitable for private state changes, protecting user privacy, and can be used for use cases such as anonymous social media and enterprise invoices/payments. FHE methods can address the issue of sharing private states, applicable to scenarios like uncollateralized DeFi loans and on-chain KYC. MPC methods can protect the privacy of private keys and data, suitable for decentralized AI training and inference. These technologies can be combined to achieve a more comprehensive protection effect.
