So I really appreciate this guide, for a variety of reasons. Not only am I a participant in the Secret Network through staking, as an ALTER delegator, but also, as a part-time participant in Secret governance.
With that being said, I don't agree with one of your cons, that Secret Network competes with ZCash and Monero.
ZCash and Monero have no second-layer utility as of now, whatsoever.
Monero is a PoW blockchain, therefore, comparing it to a PoS chain is not a fair comparison. It isn't apples to oranges. ZCash has nearly-zero adoption in the real world - unlike Monero.
The fact that $sXMR is a huge selling point of the Secret Network wrapped token feature is central to the Secret Network's value proposition. Not only can you wrap the most private, secure cryptocurrency and enable utility and yield-generation via LP, but, you can also extend the same SNIP-20 privacy protections for transactional computation to all the rest of the IBC-compatible Cosmos Ecosystem blockchains.
