privacy onchain gets interesting when you need to prove something without giving away your whole financial history imagine making a private payment, then being asked to verify a specific detail about that transaction. why should you have to expose your full balance, other transactions, or information that has nothing to do with what you're proving? personally, i think this is one of the things privacy infrastructure needs to get right keeping everything hidden isn't always practical, especially when certain situations require verification. but revealing everything just to prove one small detail doesn't make much sense either that's where Selective Disclosure comes in the idea is pretty simple. users should have more control over which information they share, instead of treating every verification request as a reason to expose everything @FlutonIO includes Selective Disclosure in its broader confidentiality roadmap, alongside concepts like encrypted intents and confidential settlement putting these pieces together could help create onchain interactions where sensitive details stay private while relevant information can still be shared when necessary and imo, that's a much more useful way to think about privacy it's not just about hiding transactions from public view. it's about having the freedom to decide what gets revealed, who gets to see it, and how much information is actually needed web3 keeps pushing toward more onchain activity, but privacy has to evolve alongside it. users shouldn't have to choose between participating in the ecosystem and protecting their financial information selective disclosure is one approach worth watching because it puts that choice closer to the user
