Panel Discussion Day 1
summary
A live panel experiments with a rotating format and dives into concrete privacy trade-offs: central banks request thresholds on turnover and a privacy budget per month enforced by proofs, which are implemented using commitments and range proofs borrowed from Zcash but regulators remain cautious and won’t accept unfettered anonymity. Secure enclaves (SGX) and Lightning-style offline channels work today for some use cases but require trusted hardware or eventual on‑chain settlement. ZK proofs are becoming practical for more workloads and may reach broader adoption in 3–4 years.
