Why Privacy Matters
The Problem with Transparency
Every transaction on public blockchains is permanently visible. This means:
- Your entire financial history is public - Anyone with your address can see every transaction you've ever made
- Exchange KYC links identity to addresses - Once you use a CEX, your real identity is connected to your on-chain activity
- Employers, landlords, and businesses can profile you - Your wallet balance and trading history are one search away
- Bad actors can target high-value wallets - Visible holdings make you a target
The CEX Dilemma
Centralized exchanges (CEX) offer convenience but require:
- Full identity verification (KYC)
- Personal documents (passport, ID, proof of address)
- Ongoing transaction monitoring
- Data that can be hacked, leaked, or shared with authorities
When you use a CEX, you're trusting that:
- They won't be hacked (they often are)
- They won't freeze your funds (they can and do)
- Your data won't be sold or leaked (no guarantees)
The DEX Gap
Decentralized exchanges (DEX) don't require KYC, but:
- Every swap is publicly visible on block explorers
- Wallet addresses can be linked to known identities
- Transaction patterns can be analyzed and traced
- Front-running and MEV attacks are common

Privacy is Not About Hiding
Financial privacy isn't about doing something wrong - it's about:
- Security - Not broadcasting your holdings to potential attackers
- Autonomy - Transacting without surveillance
- Dignity - Keeping your financial life private, like in the traditional banking world
Your money. Your privacy. Your choice.
