The focus shouldn't be limited with developers - but also active traders who make the crypto markets more sustainable. If I'm an active trader coming to the market - I should be able to do the transactions confidentially without understanding what is SDK or moving to L1.

For blockchain to become underlying technology for global financial transactions - it should address the issues of privacy on multiple layers. We don't think about these layers in traditional finance since everything is closed systems, but in crypto, there are at least 4 layers

The current process of token liquidations for big asset holders is mostly done via the OTC market. OTC players such as @falconxnetwork source their liquidity from CeFi and DeFi and then charge the bps for exchange. This can be done with the min fees and no counterparty risk.

Navigating illiquid assets is tough for crypto VCs, whales and active traders - liquidations without huge market impact or judgment are a challenge. With Hinkal, you can liquidate custom tokens privately, or store them on your shielded address. This is how:

What's interesting about on-chain money is that it's all about reusing the same supply and desperately needing a new supply. Even if there's a significantly lower yield than off-chain money, it won't go off-chain since most of this money is unlinked from identity, so it can't
