Privacy is often misunderstood as an option, but it should be the foundation of all networks. Many privacy solutions focus on how to hide transaction records, but doing so is essentially patching the design flaws of the protocol itself.

Real change comes from the restructuring of the protocol layer—reducing the likelihood of data exposure from the source. What does this mean? By default, information will not be leaked, can be verified when needed, and the entire process does not rely on any third-party intermediaries.

When we discuss regulatory compliance and anonymous privacy, these two topics are often seen as opposing. However, from a different perspective, the solution should not be to maximize confusion to evade regulation, but rather to minimize unnecessary data exposure. This is the true path for privacy networks to achieve sustainable development—satisfying compliance requirements while protecting user privacy.
