Does privacy threaten the future of Arkham (ARKM)?
With the strong market trend towards privacy, an important question arises:
What is the point of the Arkham (ARKM) project if privacy is widely adopted?
Current privacy protocols can be divided into two main categories:
1️⃣ Full Privacy (ZK):
The transaction is fully encrypted from start to finish,
neither the value, nor the sender, nor the receiver is revealed; only that a transaction has occurred is known.
If this model is widely adopted, there will be no actual role left for Arkham, as the data it relies on will completely disappear, effectively killing the project.
2️⃣ Temporary Privacy (like Bite):
The transaction is encrypted only during execution,
protecting whales from transaction tracking and MEV attacks,
and after its completion and passing through liquidity pools, the results become visible.
This model is less confrontational with regulatory bodies and does not hide crimes, but it partially reduces Arkham's role without completely eliminating it.
In summary:
ZK Privacy = Total existential threat to Arkham
Bite-like Privacy = Partial threat and reduction in value
Privacy is the direct adversary of the ARKM project
The market is rapidly heading in this direction
Unless Arkham's business model evolves in the future, coin holders are advised to pay attention to this structural shift in the market.
