Shahaf Bar-Geffen (@shahafbg): 2026 isn't just a "privacy year" because of technology readiness.

2026 isn't just a "privacy year" because of technology readiness. It's the year the market stops pretending transparent ledgers work for real-world applications. Here's what changed: Institutional demand for tokenized assets hit critical mass. Regulatory frameworks started requiring compliance-friendly privacy. Performance breakthroughs made confidential computation actually deployable. First came ZK proofs advancing privacy for specific verification use cases. Now comes Garbled Circuits and FHE for encrypted computation. We built gcEVM and will deploy it across multiple ecosystems and chains because the market needs privacy as default infrastructure. Privacy is the missing layer every chain needs. We will showcase it more as we get closer to launching Privacy on Demand. @COTInetwork
