SKYNET WARNING: This discussion sketch is substantially AI-generated and requires human review.
This is an explanatory sketch, not production code. It separates two facts about an enclave:
- Verified means either a ZK proof or an already verified enclave established that an Ethereum EOA belongs to a Nitro enclave running accepted software.
- Hefted means a trusted operator has associated that enclave with its organisational flock.
Shield counts a state update only when its signer is both verified and hefted to an operator that remains trusted.
