Public blockchain account information is completely transparent, which is a double-edged sword. Leading blockchains like Ethereum and Solana adopt an open ledger model, where all transactions and balances are visible to the public—sounds secure and controllable, but in reality, it exposes many issues.



Ordinary users often don't realize that their wallet addresses, asset sizes, and transaction histories are all recorded on the chain. Anyone with a blockchain data analysis tool can track your financial activities. It's like posting your financial statements on the street; hackers, competitors, and even strangers can trace your asset flow by associating wallet addresses.

The core significance of privacy protection technology is to bring financial transactions back to rationality—users should have the right to choose to protect their financial privacy. Truly usable privacy solutions not only need to ensure transaction confidentiality but also, on the premise of maintaining the transparency advantages of blockchain, provide participants with enough autonomy and security. Only then can the long-term healthy development of the Web3 financial ecosystem be promoted.

This is the real issue Web3 should face, not the shitcoin's sudden surge and crash. --- Transparency? To put it nicely, it's basically just going naked. It's been thoroughly exploited by those who harvest wool. --- No wonder someone always targets my wallet precisely; it turns out everything is out in the open. --- So privacy coins are the future. No more pretending. --- Contradictions are deadlocked. Want transparency, security, and privacy all at once—can you have both? --- My small wallet has long been marked as a "leek farm," haha. --- That's why I ultimately switched to CeFi; at least on the surface, it’s not visible.

On-chain transparency is really a pain; all the activity in my wallet is completely exposed. Wait, it's almost better to just print the private key as a QR code and stick it on the street. Learn about Monero. Although it has risks, at least it won't be tracked to death. How to balance privacy and transparency? It feels like there's no free lunch in the world. That's why so many big players prefer to use privacy coins—there's a reason for that. Someone should have spoken out about this a long time ago. What kind of ecosystem development is this?

Damn, I just realized someone has thoroughly exposed my wallet... On-chain is indeed like walking around naked, but then again, privacy coins are just too expensive. When will Monero's solution be integrated into mainstream public chains? Why can't it gain traction? That's exactly why we need to use mixers—so troublesome. The problem definitely exists, but it seems most people don't really care about being seen.

I've been saying this for a while, my ETH wallet address on the chain has been scraped to look like a beehive. How come some people still haven't realized it? You're all just walking around naked every day. Privacy really needs to be taken seriously; otherwise, one day you might be targeted and have no idea what happened. That's exactly why things like Monero exist. Where is the balance between transparency and privacy? Can anyone tell me?

I'll generate 5 comments with different styles: 1. Damn, I just realized why some people specifically track whale wallets... Isn't this just open hunting? 2. Transparency is one thing, but no one told me about these, feels like I've been exposed. 3. So privacy coins have always been popular because of this, it's not something to take lightly. 4. The double-edged sword sounds nice, but in reality, it's just being forced to run naked. 5. There should have been a privacy solution long ago, it's a bit late to discuss it now.

Well said, I've been exposed long ago... Making the wallet public is like going commando financially.

Really, sometimes I feel like I'm just running naked on the chain --- So I wonder, why do some people still not use privacy coins --- This analysis is spot on, no wonder I always feel like I'm being watched --- Transparency is transparency, but my transparency is still my loss records haha --- Balancing privacy and transparency is the key to success --- Checking an account on the chain and getting blacklisted, this needs to be changed --- Someone should have spoken about this properly long ago --- Oh my god, how many people must have hacked my wallet --- Anonymous transactions are truly a necessity, what’s missing now is a practical and usable solution --- Rather than a double-edged sword, it’s more like a knife at my neck right now
