**Your wallet is an open book.** Every transaction, balance, and yes - that 2021 NFT purchase - remains visible to everyone. **Inco Network** tackles this transparency problem using **TEE/FHE technology** for private payments and governance. Key privacy solutions: - **Private balances** and AMM transactions - **Confidential governance** voting - **Encrypted data types** for developers - **Wrapper contracts** for USD tokens **Privacy vs. compliance** remains crucial - the approach focuses on confidentiality rather than anonymity, meeting regulatory needs. The **Confidential Token Association** works on standards while adoption grows from payments to DeFi primitives. **Main challenges:** UX trade-offs and developer adoption barriers. Blockchain transparency was a feature, but for traders, businesses, and users wanting financial privacy, it's become a significant limitation.
