DNA Protocol does not rely on shielded value-transfer circuits, private balance-conservation constraints, or anonymous state-accounting mechanisms within its zero-knowledge framework.
Instead, it uses narrowly scoped zero-knowledge identity proofs where the prover only demonstrates possession of a valid credential, genomic commitment, or consent authorization without exposing the underlying data.
This reduces cryptographic attack surface because the circuit is not responsible for hidden asset accounting, private mint/burn logic, or shielded value-transfer validation.
