However, privacy shouldn't be a bolt on addition for a settlement layer.
What meaningful differences do you think there are between having a privacy app like Railgun vs making privacy a "native" feature at the consensus layer of the chain?
a UTXO model also counters most practical quantum attacks too
This weakness of the account model can be mitigated by using a PQ signature algorithm in the L2. PQ signatures tend to be relatively large in size but with a ZKP L2 we can aggregate these signatures into a single PQ ZKP (e.g. STARK) so that the L1 footprint is no larger than it otherwise would be.
I am curious, are you an author from Alpen?
I work for Alpen but was not an author on this paper.
Good comments, thanks for the feedback!
