The future of financial privacy cannot simply be toggled between 'on' and 'off'—it requires a more refined, layered, and progressive construction approach.

True privacy protection is not a binary choice. To make the entire system more secure and reliable, you need to invest far beyond expectations in engineering capabilities. Users with different scenarios and needs should have privacy options at different granularities. This multi-dimensional, adjustable privacy architecture is an inevitable trend for on-chain finance in the future.

From a technical implementation perspective, this requires meticulous design across multiple aspects such as consensus mechanisms, smart contracts, and cross-chain interactions. Some development teams are exploring this path, and their practices demonstrate that when engineering solutions are sufficiently advanced, the balance between privacy protection and system performance is no longer a matter of trade-offs, but something that can coexist.

That's right, the old either-or approach is long outdated. If you really want to do privacy well, you need to put in serious effort, not just shout a couple of slogans. Fine-grained control is the way to go, finally someone explained it clearly. This is the direction I want to see, much more reliable than those projects that only blow their own horns. Can privacy and performance be achieved simultaneously? I believe it, but it depends on who can really deliver. The amount of engineering work needed is huge, can anyone truly shoulder it? I support the layered architecture approach; it's much better than the black-and-white mindset. Multi-dimensional privacy adjustment... sounds great, but actual implementation is the real benchmark.

This is the right way of thinking. It should have been done this way long ago. The black-and-white approach is really outdated.

Wow, this is exactly what I've been wanting to say... Privacy can't be a one-size-fits-all solution; it depends on the context. Layered privacy is really reliable, but do you know how many teams are stuck by the engineering difficulty? It sounds good in theory, but in practice, it's worlds apart. Finally, someone has explained this thoroughly, much better than those black-and-white solutions.

This idea is brilliant; finally, someone has explained it thoroughly. The privacy solution of binary is indeed a pseudo-need; the real gamechanger is granularity. Actually, this is similar to the development logic of DeFi. In the early days, it was all black or white, and now it is gradually moving towards refinement. The difficulty lies in the engineering complexity, not all teams can handle it. Honestly, projects that can balance privacy, performance, and decentralization well should have their valuation doubled. Let's wait and see who can implement it.

A refined privacy architecture sounds grand, but I'm more concerned about its actual impact on liquidity depth... Will options with different granularities lead to fragmentation of trading pairs?
