"can" is doing all the work there. If it isn't please show me a SSI system that uses zksnarks in production.


Are you objecting to the cryptography and theory of ZK-SNARKs or the fact that not enough production grade applications are using this new tech to your expectations?

Proving systems like Groth16 and TurboPLONK have only recently gotten to a point where they can be run in a web browser, and circuit development has come a long way with Circom 2 and now varying zkVMs being built around higher level programming languages. It is reasonable to concede that we are still some years from seeing production grade SSI + ZK tech reach a mass market.


The original commenter was speaking of things that you admit are in the fabulous future, and talking about them as if they exist in the present right now. And that's just a lie.
