There's a recurring disconnect in the Web3 space worth examining: many developers market themselves as privacy-focused, championing decentralization and user data sovereignty. Yet when users dig deeper, they often discover that personal information is still centralized on the developers' own servers rather than truly decentralized. This gap between privacy rhetoric and actual implementation raises legitimate questions about what "privacy-first" really means in practice. Are we seeing genuine privacy infrastructure, or just marketing framing? The infrastructure matters less than transparency—users deserve to know exactly where their data lives.
