How zero-knowledge proofs can be used to balance privacy and compliance
summary
Zero knowledge proofs power a concrete system: a prototype privacy pool that lets a user prove I am not one of those tainted deposits without revealing identity, and a running product that builds and maintains association sets to whitelist legitimate users and blacklist criminals. The demoed prototype and paper lead to a company that issues dissociation proofs, supports revocation by removing deposits from sets, runs relayers without custody, and runs proofs of concept with financial institutions.
