The transparent nature of blockchain has always been a paradox—ordinary users see it as the foundation of trust, but enterprises and financial institutions find it troublesome. Imagine interbank transfers, where every transaction is scrutinized by the entire network; how can business secrets be protected?

This pain point has finally been seriously addressed. Aleo has built a native L1, with the core being to add a privacy layer to on-chain transactions. It's not a patchwork solution applied after the fact, but an architecture that incorporates privacy from the ground up. Securing top-tier venture capital from firms like a16z, Tiger Global, and others with real funding demonstrates that this technical approach can stand up to scrutiny.

Privacy and transparency should not be a dead-end choice; technology should enable both to coexist.
