Secret Network paused EVM compatibility in March 2026 to go back and harden its L1 foundation. That's a significant admission about where the walled-garden privacy model breaks down. @FlutonIO is betting on the opposite direction. Instead of building a new execution environment and asking DeFi to migrate into it, Fluton encrypts the intent before it reaches any protocol. Aave, Morpho, Uniswap keep running untouched. The FHE coprocessor handles confidentiality as a layer, not as a prerequisite for participation. Zama's first confidential OTC trade settling on Ethereum mainnet in March 2026 validated that this model can clear real volume without a new chain underneath it. But the honest version of this argument has a sharp edge. Aztec's privacy guarantees are enforced at consensus level. Fluton's confidentiality lives or dies in the gap between intent encryption and settlement, inside a relayer and solver network that has never faced mainnet adversarial conditions. That's not a theoretical risk. It's the exact vector that breaks intent-based systems when incentives misalign. The composability advantage is real. Whether the relayer network holds under pressure is the only question that actually matters right now.
