A trusted setup requires a group of participants to jointly generate public parameters, and security is guaranteed as long as one party is honest, but it introduces the assumption of a one-time trust ceremony; a transparent setup requires no secrets and relies only on public randomness, but usually brings a larger proof size or higher verification overhead.
