A project needs to solve a specific problem and have real-world application scenarios. Take on-chain finance running naked, for example—that’s a real issue. Wallets, positions, paths, fund flows, all being watched by bots and counterparties. Small money, you can pretend it’s fine. Big money? It’s definitely a headache. That’s why private finance is a must-have. @Arcium is tackling this exact problem. It adds encrypted compute to Solana, enabling financial apps to handle private states. Currently: 12+ apps, 7 directions, $7.5M+ in ecosystem funding, 200K+ encrypted computations, 1.1M+ mainnet transactions. Apps like Umbra, Crafts, Bench, Undesk, Stealf, and Hydex are all addressing this kind of demand. A solid project needs a problem, a scenario, applications, and data to stand firm.
