That transparency is useful for settlement, and harmful for people. Your salary, your savings, your trades, and who you transact with shouldn't be visible to anyone with a block explorer. Lacuna's goal is to make privacy the default layer of on-chain life — not a niche tool for experts, but something built into an everyday mobile wallet. Privacy you don't have to think about, that still lets you prove what you need to, when you need to. The end state: a world where sending money privately on-chain is as normal as sending a message. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
