gm One thing I think Web3 developers need to pay more attention to is what happens after a proof is generated. With @primus_labs, applications can turn information from Web2 sources into cryptographic proofs that can be verified. But generating a proof and deciding whether it should be accepted are two different things. A proof can be valid without being sufficient for the action an application wants to perform. That distinction matters more than it might seem. 𝗔 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳 𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 Imagine a Web3 application that rewards users for completing a task through their X account. A user submits a cryptographic proof showing information about their account. The application still needs to ask: √ Does the proof belong to the correct account? √ Does it establish the specific activity required? √ Is the information recent enough? √ Does the proof satisfy the application's conditions? Simply confirming that the cryptographic proof is valid does not answer all these questions. The application must also understand what the proof represents and whether it meets the requirements of the transaction. This becomes even more important when applications depend on information that changes over time. Consider a proof of reserves. A cryptographic proof may establish that certain assets were present at a particular moment. However, if the application uses that information to make a decision today, it needs to consider whether the evidence is still relevant. A proof from yesterday cannot automatically establish the current reserve position. The same applies to account activity, balances, eligibility, and other information that can change. Developers need to consider freshness, the source of the information, and the conditions under which the proof can be accepted. This is where Primus becomes interesting. Its zkTLS approach helps applications obtain cryptographic proofs of information from Web2 sources without requiring users to expose all the underlying information. Instead of asking an application to blindly trust a claim, the proof provides evidence that can be checked. But the receiving application still has its own responsibility. It must define what information matters, what conditions need to be satisfied, and whether the proof is suitable for the intended action. For example, a smart contract releasing funds based on an account activity proof should enforce the relevant requirements before allowing the transaction. The proof provides evidence. The application decides whether that evidence meets its rules. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 I think this is an important distinction for developers building applications around external data. A proof should not become a shortcut for trusting everything associated with it. The system needs to verify the cryptographic evidence, check the relevant conditions, and ensure the information supports the action being performed. That is how applications can make better use of verified Web2 information without treating every valid proof as automatically acceptable. With primus labs, proof generation helps bring external information into Web3. But the receiving application still needs to do its part.
