2025 could be the year when privacy technologies truly become practical.

More and more applications are starting to protect user input data at the moment of operation, while simultaneously being able to prove the execution results—the key is that the entire process does not expose sensitive information flows. The adoption rate of TDX (Trusted Domain Extension) is climbing, confidential computing is being rolled out by major cloud service providers, and some protocols are also beginning to experiment with private execution environments.

These changes are not accidental.

Looking ahead to 2026, DeFi is very likely to treat confidentiality as a standard feature rather than an option. But there is a balancing point here: while maintaining secrecy, auditability must also be ensured. After all, financial systems cannot operate entirely as black boxes; the needs for regulation and transparency still exist.

As technology advances, compliance frameworks are also evolving in parallel. Projects in this direction are worth continuous attention.

Schrödinger's privacy—wanting both a black box and auditability—that's like dancing with supply and demand curves. DeFi is playing with a Rubik's Cube here, turning it while also needing regulators to see clearly? That's tough.

Wait, you want black-box operations to still be auditable? That's like wanting to have your cake and eat it too. Is that realistic?

Someone has finally explained this thoroughly: privacy plus auditability is the real future of DeFi. It's not an either-or situation.

Finally, someone has explained this thoroughly. The key is balancing privacy and auditability. DeFi becoming a black box... It's probably impossible to get past regulation like this, which makes sense. When confidential computing becomes widespread, that's when the real game rules will change. Whoever gets stuck in this wave of technological advancement will be left behind.

Bro, this wave of privacy technology is really about to take off. The black box era of DeFi is coming to an end. Wait, how do you balance auditability and privacy? Feels a bit far-fetched. How can regulators supervise if everything is confidential and opaque? That’s the real issue. MEV has basically killed transparency. Can compliance frameworks keep up with tech iterations? I have my doubts. If confidentiality becomes standard by 2026, that’s going to be insane—the possibilities are huge. Privacy is fine as long as it doesn’t become a money laundering tool.

Damn, we've finally reached an era where privacy technology is no longer just talk—it's got real-world significance now. By the way, are cloud service providers actually making moves to roll out confidential computing, or is this just another "PPT revolution"? There's got to be a limit to how much DeFi becomes a black box; otherwise, regulators could just choke it out. Striking that balance is definitely key. Gotta keep a close eye on privacy-related protocols this cycle—the hot trend this year might really be here. Confidentiality as the standard isn't a dream, as long as governments don't turn it into a target.

Can compliance keep up? It always feels like it's lagging behind. Someone finally gets the balance between privacy and transparency—this is the real path DeFi should take. Confidential computing is rolling out, but truly usable projects are still extremely rare. Black box operations? No way regulators will agree to that, haha. It's easy to make bold claims about 2026, but let's see if you can survive until then. Privacy and auditability coexisting—it sounds tough just thinking about it. Who's going to reconcile this? They've been hyping this for over a year—will it actually materialize this year? I'm skeptical.
