In the DeFi ecosystem, whales and institutional traders face an awkward reality: transparency, which should be an advantage of blockchain, has become their biggest pain point.

Imagine you are an institutional trader preparing to move a $50 million position. On a fully transparent chain like Ethereum, every order you place and every intent behind your actions are exposed without exception. MEV bots (also known as sandwich attackers) lurking in the network can lock onto targets in an instant, artificially raising prices before you build your position, then immediately crashing the price after you sell. How costly is this "hunting"? Industry estimates suggest that institutions lose billions of dollars annually because of it.

Traditional finance has something called Dark Pools, which allow large trades to be executed privately before revealing the results, thus avoiding market impact. DeFi has long lacked such tools. Until recently, some new generation blockchains have started to offer similar protections through innovative technologies like blind voting consensus mechanisms and privacy smart contracts.

The core logic of this solution is simple yet effective. First, your large orders are completely hidden on-chain before execution — outsiders only know a transaction occurred but cannot see the size, counterparties, or your price sensitivity. Second, because attackers cannot see the data at all, those domineering MEV bots instantly become blind. The final highlight is compliance — this is not a lawless zone. The system supports selective disclosure, meaning you can keep information confidential from competitors while maintaining full transparency for audits and regulators.

This is the real condition that allows large funds to confidently enter the market. While other public chains are still competing on transaction speed and throughput, some projects have already grasped the most genuine needs of institutional investors: secure trading, privacy protection, and regulatory friendliness — all three at once. This race is becoming a new high ground in DeFi competition.
