The transparency paradox is killing institutional adoption.
Picture this: A fund drops $50M into an asset onchain. Every degen and competitor can now watch them accumulate. They front-run the buys, pump the price, then position for the exit. The fund just handed out free alpha to everyone watching their wallet.
But full privacy? That's how you get FTX 2.0. No one can verify solvency or actual holdings.
@primus_labs is building the middle ground:
Private execution + public verifiability
They're combining zkTLS (verify off-chain data) with FHE (compute on encrypted data) so institutions can trade without broadcasting their entire strategy to the timeline.
The thesis: You shouldn't have to choose between privacy and proof. Institutions need both or they'll never move serious size onchain.
This could be the unlock for real institutional liquidity without the MEV feeding frenzy.
