Finally! After waiting forever, the official key topic for this week has been announced, and the answer is: PracticalPrivacy Since it’s in English, translating it into Chinese might lead to different interpretations. It can be explained as practical privacy, privacy that can be implemented, or usable privacy. The core idea is a design that allows blockchain privacy to function properly in real-world, financial, and regulatory environments. The most important question is: can it actually be used? Starting with the most practical and intuitive users, it’s likely institutions. Some things need to be completely hidden, while others need to be public. For example, they need to perform KYC, be auditable, and accountable to regulators, but at the same time, keep all internal data permanently on a public chain. For regular individuals, it’s much simpler. Our daily transactions don’t need to be publicly visible. Proof is only submitted when necessary, like when we need to show compliance for trading or transferring funds. PracticalPrivacy aims to address this middle ground—not fully public, not fully hidden. Verification is available when needed, but unnecessary when it’s not. That’s why the articles from the past few days kept emphasizing programmable privacy, which is Miden’s biggest advantage. To add, the current issue with public chains (like Ethereum) is that they’re too transparent, while privacy chains (like Monero) are too difficult to integrate with real-world structures. So, if this year @0xMiden makes privacy the main narrative, when everything is implemented, people might feel it more tangibly. @0xPolygon @KaitoAI PracticalPrivacy Privacy KaitoYap Yap
