Can zero-knowledge and blockchains help humanity survive?
summary
Claim: zero-knowledge proofs plus a privacy-preserving programmable blockchain enable real-world coordination for space, agri, biotech and AI problems. Uses: zero-knowledge proofs to prove satellite position or machine state without revealing secrets, coordinated by a privacy-preserving programmable blockchain handling thousands of satellites and machines 24/7. Evidence: dozens of cross-industry interviews, a surprising industry gap (blockchain ~10–40× smaller than spacetech/biotech), and prior research that shows digital-native cases work while physical-world oracles remain unresolved.
