Ledger transparency refers to the degree to which transaction data and account balances on a digital ledger are visible and accessible to participants or the public. In public blockchains, this often means all transactions are publicly verifiable, though participant identities may be pseudonymous. This characteristic allows for independent auditing and helps ensure the integrity of the system. It fosters trust through open data availability.
Context
While public blockchains inherently offer a high degree of ledger transparency, a key discussion in the digital asset space involves balancing this transparency with privacy concerns.

The challenge lies in providing sufficient transparency for regulatory oversight and public auditing while preserving individual financial privacy.
