When it comes to the contradiction between privacy and transparency, this has been an unresolved issue for public blockchains. Most public blockchains, in order to achieve full transparency, almost sacrifice all privacy protections—every transaction is exposed to the sunlight, which is a fatal flaw for institutional investors.
A project has come up with a new approach using zero-knowledge proof technology. The core logic is simple: allow you to prove that your operation is legitimate without revealing sensitive data such as transaction amounts and strategies. Participants can confirm to the network, "I am doing the right thing," without having to disclose all the details.
Why is this so critical? Because the biggest obstacle for institutional funds entering decentralized finance is right here. Institutions are constrained by strict compliance requirements and privacy policies, making it impossible to accept all transaction records being publicly scrutinized. Once trading strategies and position sizes are exposed, competitors can immediately see through your moves.
This "verifiable privacy" solution satisfies the blockchain's need for transparent verification while protecting participants' privacy—this is the real advantage that attracts institutions to enter. From a technological moat perspective, this is also its core competitive edge compared to other platforms.

Basically, it's about wanting big players to feel secure to enter the market, but there are only a few projects that can truly achieve this. Zero-knowledge proofs sound impressive, but there are still issues with practical implementation.

look, zkp sounds neat on paper but let's examine the actual gas costs here... "verifiable privacy" is just privacy theater if computation fees eat 40% of your position lol

Zero-knowledge proofs sound good in theory, but there are very few projects that can truly be implemented... Will institutions really buy into this?

I've long understood the logic of zero-knowledge proofs. The key is whether institutions are truly willing to come in; otherwise, no matter how fancy the privacy solutions are, they are useless.

Zero-knowledge proofs sound good, but how many problems they can actually solve in practice remains to be seen... Anyway, big players have already found ways to stay hidden, so it's not our turn as small investors.

Zero-knowledge proofs sound promising, but will institutions really buy into it? It still feels more theoretical than practical.

Zero-knowledge proofs are indeed a solution concept, but how many projects can truly be implemented?

Zero-knowledge proofs are indeed the breakthrough point; institutions have been stuck here all along.

If this zkP system can truly be implemented, then it's a win, but in reality, institutions still trust dark pools more, haha.
