Non-Revelation Mechanisms

Definition

Non-revelation mechanisms are methods designed to allow transactions or interactions without fully disclosing private information. These are cryptographic or protocol-level techniques that enable participants in a decentralized system to perform actions, such as submitting bids or executing transactions, without fully exposing their sensitive data to other participants or the public ledger. Examples include zero-knowledge proofs or confidential transactions, which preserve privacy while maintaining verifiability. Such mechanisms are critical for enhancing confidentiality and preventing information leakage in public blockchain environments.
