DeFi doesn’t have to choose between transparency and privacy. That’s the interesting problem @primus_labs is working around. Public blockchains make transactions verifiable, but exposing every position, balance, or financial detail can create unnecessary risks for users and institutions. The better approach is selective verification: prove that something is valid without revealing everything behind it. That could make onchain finance more practical for businesses that need confidentiality without giving up trust. As DeFi evolves beyond simple token transfers, this balance could become increasingly important. The goal shouldn’t be to hide everything or expose everything. It should be to reveal what’s necessary and protect what isn’t. That’s where privacy infrastructure could make a real difference. Can DeFi scale to institutional adoption without better ways to protect sensitive financial information?
