I've recently noticed an interesting shift - privacy features no longer have to be developed from scratch by each project.

In the past, for privacy protection, you either had to build your own chain or patch at the application layer. Now, Solana has come up with a C-SPL standard that directly packages zero-knowledge proofs and multi-party computation into a public component, which any program can call upon.

This matter is actually quite critical: In the past few years, everyone has been shouting about privacy, but most of the solutions implemented have been isolated efforts. What is the result? User data on chain A is completely exposed on chain B; if developers want to add privacy features, they have to reinvent the wheel.

The idea behind C-SPL is quite straightforward and brutal - to make the confidentiality capability a standard configuration at the underlying level, rather than an exclusive selling point of a particular chain.

In simple terms: privacy should not be the privilege of a few chains, but the default option for the entire ecosystem. Whether it can truly be implemented depends on whether practical applications can keep up.

Wow, finally someone has made this clear. The fighting alone part is really annoying.

This is great, finally no need to develop a separate privacy solution for each project, it really saves effort. Wait, it's easy to say, but how many projects will actually implement it? The C-SPL approach is good, just see if the implementation can keep up, it’s not so quick to promote such standards. Wow, is privacy finally going to become a standard feature? After talking about it for so long, it looks like they are really going to take action. Solana's move this time is quite impressive, saving a lot of redundant work. To be honest, I'm a bit skeptical, will projects really use it once the standard is out? Aren't they still going to do their own thing? This is what I want to see, privacy becoming infrastructure rather than a selling point, the landscape has opened up.

yeah well let's see how this actually plays out lol. everyone's been talking about privacy as this killer feature for what, five years? and it's always been the same story—massive correlation collapse once stress hits. c-spl looks clean on paper but that's what they always say before liquidity evaporates.

This time Solana has finally done something reliable, standardized privacy is no longer a dream.

Finally, someone is doing standardization. It was indeed annoying when everyone was doing their own thing before.
