Market Context

​Dark pools, private market makers, and protected order flows are ideal for Web2 players entering onchain finance. Neobanks, stock apps, DeFi, staking for real-world assets — the technology is almost ready. But is the demand real?

Topics:

​1️⃣ Making Infrastructure Safe for Any Blockchain

​Even private chains can expose data — especially when hosted in external environments. Is infrastructure the bottleneck for adoption? Can we build scalable blockchain infrastructure in the cloud?

​2️⃣ How Confidentiality Can Help Web2 Go DeFi

​3️⃣ Confidentiality for Payments

​Payments are the most anticipated — and most difficult — use case for confidentiality tech. Public blockchains are transparent and permissionless, while payments demand compliance and privacy. Can modern cryptography bridge the gap?
