In the current public chain competition landscape, different projects have indeed taken distinct paths. Some chains pursue extreme transaction speeds and ecosystem prosperity, while others focus on privacy and compliance.

Taking technical architecture as an example, all data on public chains are transparent and verifiable. When institutional investors issue securities on-chain, they face a very real problem—business-sensitive information may be exposed, which is a fatal flaw for regulated finance. Projects adopting native ZK encryption solutions avoid this risk by embedding data privacy at the core layer of the chain.

This is clearly reflected in the details. For instance, gas costs are only a few cents, and confirmation times reach sub-second finality. These metrics sound highly technical but directly impact the actual user experience. Plus, with EVM compatibility, developers can migrate Solidity applications with almost zero learning curve. The upcoming L2 scaling solutions combined with a 12-18% annualized yield mechanism essentially meet mainstream users’ expectations for performance and returns.

The differentiation in application scenarios is also quite interesting. Retail markets value excitement and volatility, while European regulated financial markets demand strict privacy and auditability. The integration of traditional financial infrastructure providers like NPEX and Quantoz demonstrates that this route has gained real-world commercial validation.

Ultimately, choosing which path depends on your specific application scenario and risk appetite.
