research-lab VS SecretNetwork

One of many open research questions u/Rucknium has listed here (under "Reducing or eliminating 10 block lock with acceptable drawbacks"). There is a chance of it being reduced but its "complicated"

Welcome! I wrote this list of Monero's open research questions: https://github.com/monero-project/research-lab/issues/94

We also established an official list of topics we want to fund, expanding on the broad space of Monero. This is intended to help people realize actual tasks they may want to complete on behalf of Monero, rather than just the idea of tasks, and extends Monero's open research questions. We're further interested in security proofs, ensuring Monero's integrity, historic and present, and work on arithmetic-circuit based membership proofs. Arithmetic-circuit based membership proofs would remove ring signatures, and the statistical analysis possible on them, entirely, for complete privacy of which output you're spending.

There is actually something called a "truncated address", which is transparent by default. It is mentioned in the original CryptoNote whitepaper on page 8, but I don't think the official wallet software supports it. You could emulate it by calculating the view key manually as a = H(B).

Monero's privacy (i.e. fungibility) guarantees, while being extremely good, are still not mature enough to ossify the protocol yet, see here;

The SCRT Labs GitHub has a lot of great resources for code: https://github.com/scrtlabs/SecretNetwork

Outside of Ethereum there is the Secret Network scrt.network that relies on computers having a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) so that any SC can have its own private key that stays private within the TEE.

Read: https://github.com/scrtlabs/SecretNetwork/releases/tag/v1.7.1

There are technical ways to do that. On blockchains like https://scrt.network/ it's already built-in.

I noticed that the license file for Secret Network's Github repo https://github.com/scrtlabs/SecretNetwork/blob/master/LICENSE changed its last updated date to November 8, 2022. Also the license language doesn't appear to reflect that of the AGPL. I'm a little late to the party but I just noticed this.

This sounds (very narrowly) similar to the Enigma network, a blockchain-based technology that can be used for fully encrypted multi-party computation (MPC). It was one of the earlier blockchain projects that actually had an interesting use case and technology in this quite "overhyped" space. They rebranded to the Secret network [0] a few years back and somehow I don't find this use case/promise back nowadays...website screams all of the Web3 BS buzzwords it seems :(

Have you heard of Secret? https://scrt.network/
