2018 was an interesting time. The blockchain space was bustling—some were pursuing faster transfer speeds, others obsessed with crypto collectibles, but very few projects truly considered opening new channels for traditional finance.

Large financial institutions were watching from the sidelines. They saw the potential in this field, but the issues were very real: transactions need to be fully transparent? That’s a nightmare for them. Inability to pass compliance audits? An even more distant dream. So they chose to wait.

It was this gap that created opportunities for new projects. One project chose not to follow the trend but decided to start from the fundamentals. Its approach was very clear— for crypto finance to be genuinely adopted by institutional users, it’s not about flashy technology, but about solving two core issues first: privacy protection and compliance requirements.

This isn’t just about building a simple bridge between two worlds. The real challenge lies in the fact that privacy and compliance are the very load-bearing structures of this bridge. On one side is the open and efficient nature of blockchain; on the other, the strict regulations of traditional finance. Only by satisfying both conditions simultaneously can institutions cross with confidence. This balancing ability is precisely the core competitive advantage of the project.
