The more participants, the higher the confidence. + +**Q: Can we re-run the ceremony?** +A: Yes, if circuit logic changes or if ceremony integrity is questioned. Old keys become invalid. + +**Q: How long are the keys valid?** +A: Indefinitely, unless circuits change. The ceremony is a one-time process per circuit version. + +**Q: Can I verify I participated?** +A: Yes, your contribution hash is in the public chain, and you signed an attestation. + +**Q: What if someone finds the toxic waste?** +A: They could forge proofs for that circuit.
