# Announcing 'no trusted setup' while shipping a wrapper

A transparent system is chosen for exactly that property and then wrapped in a pairing-based SNARK to make settlement affordable. The deployed system depends on a trusted setup and forfeits post-quantum soundness, but the public claim is never updated.

**Mitigation:** Describe the assumption at the boundary the verifier actually sits on. If a wrapper is used, its setup and its parameters are yours to justify — see §04.
