When blockchain enters mainstream finance, privacy shifts from nice-to-have to must-have. The realistic approach isn't full privacy or total transparency—it's selective disclosure. Think private transactions by default, with compliance tools available when regulators knock on the door.
What to track: How wallets integrate privacy features, whether proof generation costs drop to competitive levels, and if enterprises actually run pilots with these solutions. The real test is whether the tech stacks around ZK proofs, FHE, and confidential transfers can scale without breaking UX or economics. Get any of these wrong, and privacy becomes the first thing chopped to hit mainstream adoption.

Selective disclosure sounds good in theory, but in practice, there will definitely be compromises.
---
Honestly, user privacy and compliance can't be perfectly balanced; in the end, privacy will probably be sacrificed.
---
How is the progress on integrating privacy features into wallets? Is anyone really using it?
---
If the cost of zk proof can't be reduced, all privacy solutions are pointless.
---
It sounds ideal, but what about reality? Will companies really run such pilots? I have my doubts.
---
The key is that UX can't be poor; otherwise, no matter how private the features are, users won't use them.

The idea of selective disclosure sounds ideal, but will companies actually implement it when it comes to real-world application? I'm more concerned about when wallet integration will become less complicated.

The idea of selective disclosure sounds good, but who would really believe it when it’s actually implemented... As soon as regulators arrive, you have to obediently disclose everything.

NGL, this idea of selective disclosure is quite practical, but the key still depends on whether the wallet can truly make privacy the default rather than just a display...
