Scalable Privacy

Definition

Scalable privacy refers to a system’s capacity to uphold strong user anonymity and data confidentiality while simultaneously processing a substantial volume of transactions or users. In blockchain contexts, this means achieving privacy without sacrificing network throughput or unduly increasing transaction costs. Techniques like zero-knowledge rollups and private sidechains are being developed to tackle this challenge. It is a critical objective for widespread adoption of privacy-preserving digital assets.
