  "textContent": "Fully private systems, like Aleo, will be mostly memoryless systems (memory will be provided only by an individual's viewing keys). \n\nThese systems will allow for a class of application we haven't seen online before - UTXO/records as rai stones that just happened to materialize along with a zkp.\n\nGiven that fully private systems will be memoryless black boxes with zero-knowledge proofs, one cannot verify that a contract path got executed in the exact same way that you would have wanted. Therefore, it makes no sense to cling to the notion of traditional execution, and one should focus on the result that one wanted to achieve.\n\nThis would seem to indicate that private systems lend themselves to intent-based approaches.",
