We present a practical method to achieve timelock encryption, where a ciphertext is guaranteed to …

A breakthrough if it withstands scrutiny

5 stars

This paper (and the associated code/service: timevault.drand.love/) may be one of the most/only valuable contributions to come from the entire web3 ecosystem. The ability to commit to a future decryption time is a powerful primitive, such as in auctions, coordinated disclosure, and other "dead man's switch" scenarios.

I look forward to this work being critiqued and built-upon for a whole host of interesting offerings.
