I've been reading more about how @primus_labs uses zkTLS and I keep coming back to a problem we've probably all dealt with at some point. How do you prove something happened on another platform without handing over your private information or asking someone to trust a screenshot? Think about buying crypto from someone using a regular payment app. You send the money, but the other person still needs to confirm that you've actually paid before releasing the tokens. Usually, that means relying on a third party or manually checking payment records. Primus is working on a different approach. --> Connecting real payments to smart contracts With Primus zkTLS, developers can build systems that verify payment information from services like PayPal. Here's how it could work. The seller deposits crypto into an onchain escrow contract. The buyer makes the payment through a supported service and generates a cryptographic proof confirming details such as the sender, recipient and amount. Once the smart contract verifies that proof, it can release the locked crypto to the buyer. No need to publish an entire transaction history just to prove one payment happened. Of course, payment reversals, fraud prevention and compliance still need to be handled separately. But reducing the need for manual verification would already be useful. --> And payments aren't the only example I've seen creators being asked to send screenshots of their engagement statistics to prove their activity. The same problem exists in job applications, where companies spend time verifying education and employment records. @primus_labs could help applications verify information from its original source instead of relying on documents that might be edited or incomplete. There's even a use case for AI training. If someone is labeling medical or legal data, being able to verify their professional qualifications could help improve the quality of those datasets. --> Here's what I'd like to see next I want to see more applications where users can prove something without having to think about the technology doing the verification. Most people don't care how zkTLS works internally. They just want a process that's reliable, doesn't take forever and doesn't require sharing unnecessary information. That's where I think Primus has an opportunity. Making existing internet data trustworthy enough to use onchain, while keeping sensitive details private, could open up some genuinely useful applications. I'm following how developers put these examples into practice. You can also explore Primus through its XP tasks: https://t.co/gdio3OGGex #Primus #zkTLS #DeFi #Privacy
