Privacy depends on local proving and safe handling of secrets. ### Security layers * Client-side proof generation * On-chain verifier contracts * Non-custodial shielded state * Independent transaction relayers ### System view ``` Browser -> proof generation -> Ethereum verifier -> protocol contract -> indexed state ``` ### Next Steps * Read **ZK circuits**. * Review **Trust assumptions**. * Check **Bug bounty**. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.okkult.io/security/architecture.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
