The fully transparent mechanism of public blockchains has always been regarded as a core advantage of blockchain technology, ensuring the auditability and immutability of on-chain data. However, as applications deepen, a paradox that is often overlooked is gradually becoming apparent: extreme transparency also means maximum privacy exposure. Account balances, transaction history, fund flows—everything is openly written on the chain, posing real security risks to ordinary users, institutions, and even project teams. While pursuing decentralized trust, should we also seriously consider the necessity of privacy protection?

Transparency and privacy are really a deadlock... My holdings have already been completely stripped, and now I don't dare to store too much on the chain.

Transparency and privacy are a catch-22; you can't have both simultaneously.

Transparency is truly a double-edged sword; people in the crypto circle have been thoroughly exposed...

This is exactly what I've been wanting to say—it's so transparent it's like running naked. We really need to think of a solution.

Transparency and privacy are inherently a trade-off. Someone mentioned this early on, but it was dismissed as mere ramblings of naive investors... Now that it's being discussed, isn't it a bit late?

Transparency and privacy are indeed a dead end; you really can't have both. --- In other words, your wallet balance is visible across the entire network, which is no different from posting a "How much money I have" sign on the street. No wonder institutions are scared. --- Wait, how did privacy coins survive? It seems like no one is really using them on a large scale. --- So in the end, blockchain still has to be sold to centralized entities for a sense of security? That logic is a bit ironic. --- This is the real challenge of Web3. It's not a technical problem; it's a matter of balance. --- No wonder wealthy people use mixers, anonymous chains 😂. --- Public chains are so transparent that they become the biggest vulnerability. You didn't see this reversal coming, did you?

Honestly, transparency has now become a double-edged sword. Anyone can see how many coins are in my wallet, and this doesn't feel right.
