Recently, we introduced ZK primitives, the fundamental components of a programmable zero-knowledge application. We defined these primitives to be shielded transactions and shielded identities. In this post, we’ll explore the environment where these primitives interact in Aleo, which we refer to as zkCloud. With these features, zkCloud solves one of the most challenging problems facing blockchains to date: The Privacy Dilemma. An ongoing challenge for blockchain protocols has been the tradeoff between privacy and programmability. Most projects that have come to market so far fall along two axes as follows: Most blockchains either prioritize programmability at the expense of privacy, or the other way around. So far, no project has been able to offer both, which is why the top-right quadrant is empty. Aleo is filling that need for programmable privacy through what we call zkCloud. In a typical public blockchain, program execution happens on-chain in a global “virtual machine” (VM) run by
