One thing that gets lost in ZK discourse: privacy ≠ scaling.
Most ZK systems today optimize cost or throughput.
@AleoHQ is optimizing confidential state: who can see what, when, and why.
As crypto moves toward:
• on-chain identity
• RWAs
• institutional capital
• consumer apps
→ full transparency becomes a liability, not a feature.
Aleo is one of the few teams treating privacy as core infrastructure.
