When it comes to Web3 autonomy, we often get stuck on asset self-custody. But there's actually a more easily overlooked dimension—the autonomy of information.

This issue hits close to home: on a transparent blockchain, your financial transactions, trading patterns, and even social networks can be directly read. Isn't this data exposure essentially a form of "passive rights transfer"?

Therefore, the value of the privacy track is not just about technological iteration. It truly aims to solve: in a decentralized world, how to redefine the boundaries between personal space and public space. Some projects offer exactly such a set of tools—allowing users to decide where to draw that line.

For example, the architecture of zero-knowledge proofs fundamentally gives the power of "what I want to disclose" back to the user. You can prove that a transaction is valid without revealing all the data details. This is not about hiding something, but about securing the right to "choose what to tell you, when to tell it, and to whom."

EVM compatibility is even more interesting. It enables Ethereum ecosystem developers to turn privacy into a default feature at minimal cost, rather than an afterthought. Imagine when more and more DeFi applications, social products, and games default to offering this optional privacy layer—the entire on-chain operational logic will change.

Users no longer have to choose between "full transparency" and "complete anonymity." The gray area in between is now open.

A truly healthy digital society should neither be monitored so tightly as a panoramic prison nor be lawless. It needs shadows, buffer zones, and undisturbed corners to accommodate innovation and freedom. Building privacy infrastructure is laying the foundation for such a future—making autonomy truly a complete concept.
