Privacy in the age of blockchain is no longer optional. Zero‑knowledge proofs, ring signatures, stealth addresses and confidential transactions let users keep data off‑chain while still proving validity. Coins like Monero, Zcash, Dash, and even Bitcoin’s Lightning Network use these tools to shield balances and amounts. As regulators tighten, private chains are increasingly crucial for protecting personal data and ensuring financial freedom.
