The Question Nobody's Asking
Every ZK newsletter I read talks about whether you should use a ZKVM. That's the wrong question. By late 2025, the answer was clearly "yes." The real debate now is: which abstraction leak will
Privacy Engineering in 2026: Building Systems That Protect by Default
Welcome back to the Jacobian newsletter. Last week we covered zero-knowledge proof fundamentals. This week, we're going deeper into privacy engineering — how to design systems that protect user data as a core architectural principle, not an afterthought.
Over the next four weeks, our rotation continues:
