The industry has already gone through the "experimental phase." Over the past year, tokenized funds, bonds, and clearing systems have achieved results under real regulatory frameworks, especially in regions where rules are gradually clarified. This directly changes the answer to a question: what kind of blockchain design can truly be put into practical use?

The answer points to a key design principle: privacy first. But this privacy is not unidirectional; it is a dual-track system—privacy is the default setting, yet auditability is always present. This approach may seem contradictory, but it precisely reflects the actual operational logic of traditional finance off-chain. Transferring this logic onto the chain, it unexpectedly becomes natural and seamless.

More importantly, this is not a post-hoc strategic shift. Projects built from scratch around compliance, auditing, and institutional-grade applications will increasingly differ from those that are adjusted temporarily. As pilot projects gradually move into production, poorly designed chains will start to feel the pressure.

The core insight of this observation is straightforward—those infrastructure projects that seem low-key but have been paving the way for real-world applications from the beginning will demonstrate different vitality when they reach the actual industry application stage. Compared to short-term noise, these projects are the true long-term focus.

Wow, finally someone has explained this thoroughly. I always said that those projects that focus on compliance from the start will definitely survive. The batch of last-minute changes will be crying when they enter the production phase. Can privacy and auditing coexist? That is indeed a real skill; traditional finance has been doing it this way for a long time. The dual-track system is not a new concept; it's just that someone finally brought it onto the blockchain. Short-term speculation is just that—speculation. The real test is who can build solid infrastructure. Now that's a true marathon runner.

I've already said that those who focus on compliance from the beginning are the true winners. It's just that it's too late for those who only realize it now. --- Privacy + audit dual-track system, in simple terms, is just the traditional financial model moved onto the blockchain. Nothing new. --- I believe in projects that never jump on the bandwagon and quietly build infrastructure. That’s where true long-term value lies. --- Really, chains with poor design will eventually be eliminated. This round of reshuffling is about to begin. --- Laying the groundwork for compliance from the start vs. scrambling at the last minute, the difference is so big—do you even need to ask? --- The dual-track privacy system—institutions in finance operate exactly this way. People just haven't realized it. --- Those "low-key" infrastructure projects are indeed different. The true test will come when they move from pilot to production.

Wow, finally someone dares to say this. Those chains that scramble at the last minute should really be nervous. I've seen through the dual-track approach of privacy + auditing long ago; that's just how traditional finance operates. Low-profile infrastructure projects are the real trump cards, now I understand. Wait, so those who argue about compliance every day actually won? That's interesting. It was planned from the very beginning, and now it’s really taking off. Pat myself on the back. The noisy projects should clear out now, they probably won't even reach the production stage.
