# Looking Forward

## Research Directions and Security Challenges

* **zk-Browser Automation:** Maturing ZK proof techniques for browser interactions to enhance the verifiability of the Browser Plugin.
* **Entropy Function Security:** Rigorous analysis and validation of the security assumptions behind the proposed entropy function for model output selection.
* **zkML Optimization:** Continued progress in zkML could eventually allow for direct, efficient proofs of open model execution, potentially replacing or augmenting the entropy mechanism.
* **Scalability and Cost:** Optimizing the computational overhead of proofs, consensus, and on-chain storage for large-scale DeAgent deployment.
* **Ethical Frameworks:** Developing clear guidelines for Agent creation, goals, and operational boundaries, especially for governance roles.
