The entire crypto space is locked in a massive civil war right now and on one side you have the cypherpunks who want absolute financial privacy and zero government oversight then on the other side you have the institutional bootlickers who want full KYC and total state transparency on every single decentralized exchange. So now, As a red teamer I am telling you both sides are completely missing the point. The future of decentralized finance is not a binary choice between anarchy and a surveillance state. This is why the architectural model of @MidnightNetwork is the only viable path forward for global adoption. They are introducing the concept of selective disclosure using zero knowledge proofs. This means a multi billion dollar hedge fund or a Web3 business can mathematically prove to a regulatory auditor that their capital is clean and they are not laundering money, but they do not have to broadcast their trading algorithms or wallet balances to the public mempool. You get the regulatory compliance required to onboard Wall Street, but you maintain the corporate confidentiality needed to survive in a competitive free market. Midnight is building the cryptographic bridge between the legacy financial system and the cypherpunk ethos. If you are still arguing about transparency versus privacy, you are completely ignoring the programmable confidentiality meta that is about to dominate this cycle.
