[AMA Recap] Orochi x GaFin

PART 1: INTRODUCTION

• oWASM: This is a Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) integrated version of WebAssembly (Wasm) run-time used as the application executor of UnityOS (Orochi Computation Layer). It allows programs to be written with popular programming languages and executed with a semi-native performance. The difference between oWASM and ordinary Wasm environment is that oWASM has a ZKP prover to prove all steps of the computational process to make sure that the result was computed honestly.
• Orocle: A decentralized Oracle that functions as a bridge between decentralized applications (dApp) and reality. It feeds bias-free data into the communication between dApps and the real world.
• Orand: A decentralized Random Number Generator (Decentralized RNG), also known as a trustless source of randomness which can be used in the dApp to distribute digital assets, host lottery-related tasks or calculate item drop rate with utmost fairness.
• Orocom: An immutable ledger engine that can be used in the dApp to store and query data from an off-chain storage

• Cheat Detection and Prevention: ZKPs can be used to detect and prevent cheating in multiplayer games. By proving the validity of their moves and actions without revealing how they are executed, players can prevent other players from copying their tactics.
• Asset Ownership Verification: In-game assets and items can be valuable, and players may want to ensure that they own them securely. ZKPs can be used to prove ownership of these assets without disclosing personal information.
• Secure Transactions: ZKPs can be used to create a secure and transparent platform for in-game transactions, such as the transfer of virtual currency or in-game items. This can help prevent fraud and ensure the safety of players' virtual assets.
• Personalized Gaming: By using ZKPs to protect players' privacy, gaming companies can create more personalized gaming experiences that are tailored to players' interests and preferences.

PART 2: LIVE Q&A

• Privacy-Preserving Data Sharing: ZKPs can be used to prove that certain information exists or satisfies certain conditions without revealing the actual data itself. This has useful applications in areas such as medical research, where patient data needs to be shared without compromising the privacy of the patients.
• Authentication: ZKPs can be used to authenticate users without revealing their identity or sensitive information. For example, a user can prove that they have a valid password without actually revealing the password itself.
• Secure Computation: ZKPs can be used to prove that certain computations have been performed correctly, without revealing any of the actual inputs or outputs. This has applications in areas such as voting systems, where individual votes need to be kept private, but the overall results need to be verifiable.

• Privacy: One of the main benefits of ZKPs is that they provide strong privacy guarantees. ZKPs allow users to prove that certain information or conditions are true without revealing any additional information about themselves or their data. This is particularly useful in applications where privacy is a top concern, such as financial transactions, medical research, and digital identity verification.
• Security: ZKPs also provide strong security guarantees, as they allow users to prove that certain computations or transactions have been performed correctly without revealing any sensitive information. This is useful in applications where data security and integrity are critical, such as voting systems and decentralized finance.
• Efficiency: While ZKPs can be computationally intensive, they are still more efficient than traditional methods of proving things, such as sending data or information back and forth between parties. ZKPs also enable more efficient use of resources, such as in blockchain-based transactions, where they can reduce the need for expensive and time-consuming consensus mechanisms.
• Accessibility: ZKPs are becoming more accessible as the technology advances and becomes more widely adopted. As more people become familiar with ZKPs and their potential applications, they are likely to be used in a wider range of fields and industries.
