I once participated in an AI project, and a data breach could have destroyed the entire product — it was only after that I realized that privacy is not an optional feature; it is a hard requirement.

Seeing a team build their product architecture from day one using FHE and ZK is the truly realistic approach. It’s not about patching privacy in afterwards, but embedding it from the start. The difference is huge.

Cryptography is not optional, especially in Web3 applications involving users' sensitive data. When data is encrypted and verified intrinsically, the entire risk profile of the system changes. It’s worth careful consideration.

Damn, this was the first lesson I was taught two years ago... A single leak directly destroyed the company's reputation... Looking back now, FHE and ZK are the right path, with privacy built-in from the start... If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have to play firefighter afterward.

Really, one leak and it's all over. I've seen this too many times. FHE and ZK are built into the architecture, that's what I call reliable, not just scrambling to catch up after the fact.

Really, one leak and it's all over. That was a painful lesson for us back then. Now looking at FHE and ZK solutions built from the ground up, compared to the patchwork garbage before, it's worlds apart.

Data leaks can really be eye-opening... But to be honest, most teams are still just patching things up and haven't thought about building privacy from scratch. FHE and ZK are indeed powerful, but they are not to be taken lightly in terms of cost. Who has really suffered from this in a production environment?

Really, one leak and it's game over. Our project almost went completely bankrupt. Now I see those teams that incorporate privacy design from the architecture level—those are real tough guys, not the kind to patch things up after the fact.
