"Good things come to those who wait." This is especially true in blockchains, where hackers and arbitrageurs who wait until the last minute to add a block are often rewarded the most. In poker, if I know you’re never going to bluff, I’ll always wait for you to act so I can exploit you on every hand. The same dynamic exists on blockchains. Competitive applications need to hide their submissions until everyone has committed to the network. This is why most asset managers and traders rely on centralized infrastructure to connect to blockchain networks. Their moves remain hidden until resolution. There is a NEED for privacy in crypto if we're going to move finance onchain. Where transactions aren’t public the moment they’re broadcast. We need networks that: - Execute transactions privately off-chain - Submit commitments and proofs via zero-knowledge - Reveal only if necessary, and only after all transactions are final And these must happen natively on an L1. Why? - L2s leak calldata, plaintext, and MEV - Enclaves require trusting third-party hardware and software - MPC adds latency and only delivers partial privacy Keeping your transactions sealed so no one can wait, watch, and game you.
