This Thursday, Atlanta Blockchain Center will explore the growing tension between transparency and privacy in an increasingly onchain economy.
Privacy is quickly evolving from an ideological principle into a critical piece of financial infrastructure. As blockchain adoption grows, so does the ability to track wallets, analyze transactions, and build detailed financial profiles from activity recorded permanently on public ledgers.
We’ll explore the growing tension between transparency and privacy in an increasingly onchain economy. We’ll discuss blockchain surveillance, privacy-preserving technologies like zero-knowledge proofs, private transactions and confidential computing, and why financial privacy could become increasingly important as institutions, businesses, AI agents, and everyday users move more economic activity onchain.
The question is no longer simply whether blockchain should be transparent. It’s how we preserve the benefits of verifiable public infrastructure without making everyone’s financial life permanently public.
