Design Choices: Public, Permissioned, or Hybrid?
Public chains offer maximum transparency and resilience but challenge privacy and throughput. Permissioned chains enable tighter controls and faster speeds but require strong governance. Hybrid models anchor permissioned data to public chains for integrity, achieving practical oversight without oversharing sensitive details.
Design Choices: Public, Permissioned, or Hybrid?
Zero-knowledge proofs let agencies prove rules were followed without exposing underlying data. For example, you can prove bids were submitted before a deadline and fairly evaluated without revealing the amounts prematurely, balancing confidentiality with verifiability in a demonstrable, cryptographically rigorous way.
