Horizen Re-poster

Privacy is a necessary element across all industries, and finding product-market fit is the driving force behind mass adoption. We are actively building solutions in a few key areas.

In the Private DeFi space, we are working with @zendexfi, @useObscura, @LighterIM, and more. Our Infrastructure projects involve @LayerZero_Core, @Calderaxyz, @StorkOracle, and others. Additionally, we are exploring Prediction Markets and Gaming alongside @RevealMarket and @TactizenMMO.

In a world where visibility is the norm, developing with privacy at the forefront ensures you can safeguard your tranquility.

In the current landscape, which specific areas do you believe are most in need of enhanced privacy measures?

More than $100T of institutional capital is waiting to make the move onchain. Nevertheless, 75% of institutions indicate that the lack of data confidentiality remains their most significant hurdle to entering the DeFi space. In contrast to this demand, a mere 4% of DeFi protocols currently provide any onchain privacy solutions. It is a statistic that deserves a second look.

Soon, you will have the power to conduct trades without exposing your comprehensive strategy to MEV bots. These systems capitalize on the inherent transparency of DeFi to step in front of your orders. This creates a digital ambush scenario that is costing the market billions.

Institutional participants are often forced to make hard decisions when navigating public blockchains. Horizen effectively resolves this trilemma. By leveraging @Base, you gain access to infrastructure that is conscious of compliance and backed by Coinbase, alongside one of the deepest liquidity pools onchain. To complete this offering, Horizen incorporates the crucial element of auditable confidentiality.

For small and mid-sized businesses, managing regulations often devolves into a scramble involving screenshots, spreadsheets, and last-minute audit prep. Ideally, however, compliance should build confidence rather than chaos. @DataHubz is transforming this reality. Their flagship platform establishes a system of record that is continuous, private, and verifiable. 🧵

Do you consider it acceptable for businesses to sell your personal information to external organizations?

The resurgence of privacy coins was not caused by market boredom. Instead, their return highlights the fact that the need for privacy has remained constant.

Check out the insights from @HorizenLabs' CEO @robviglione on @CoinMarketCap as he discusses the future of onchain finance. He explains why the upcoming market cycle is expected to avoid the extremes of total transparency or complete opacity. 👇

Remaining isolated can put a cap on your potential. Savvy projects are making the move to @Base to unlock a suite of advanced tools and robust liquidity. On top of that, the network provides a direct link to the widespread institutional reach of @Coinbase.

Institutions are well aware of a common obstacle. Placing a significant trade on a public chain inevitably attracts the attention of MEV bots. Before the order can even settle, front-runners step in to extract value, causing you to lose money with each execution. Additionally, this exposure places you at risk of competitors copying your entire strategy.

In the current landscape, what compels builders to join an emerging ecosystem?

Loyalty programs were originally intended to build long-term relationships. Instead, many have become noisy point systems focused on short-term incentives. In Web3, this problem is amplified as bots capture value and real users are lost in the noise. Engagement without trust simply does not create loyalty.

Privacy is becoming infrastructure, not merely a feature.
This shift is critical for how DeFi actually scales.

Through the Horizen x @thriveprotocol Builder Funding Program, we are supporting teams building practical privacy into real applications.

Onchain privacy typically becomes a priority as exposure grows, rather than before.
