The biggest challenge was translating highly technical cryptography into something that feels human, without being inaccurate, reductive, or sensationalized.

Zero-knowledge proofs, recursive SNARKs, elliptic curve design, MPC, FHE, shielded pools: these don’t naturally fit inside short-form storytelling. Keeping them correct and entertaining required constant iteration, testing metaphors, and balancing clarity with precision.

Another challenge was adapting content for each sponsor’s unique privacy model:

• Aztec → private smart contracts
• Mina → recursive proofs & Pasta curves
• Osmosis → private transactions
• Bitlux → privacy normalization
• Tachyon → shielded pool ecosystem
• Network School → zk-identity use cases

Each script had to feel custom and accurate.

The emotional layer added another level of difficulty. Many people who need privacy most (especially women in dangerous or coercive situations) don’t connect with technical jargon. Honoring real human experiences while still explaining cryptography required careful tone control.

Finding the intersection between emotional truth, technical accuracy, and comedic delivery was the hardest - but most rewarding - challenge.
