Lately, I've been seeing many new L1/L2 projects start to issue incentives to boost TVL, and old users complain "mining, selling," which is actually quite true: what everyone wants on the chain is freedom, but project teams want compliance, decency, and to stay above board. My expectations for privacy are very low now; frankly, the chain isn't a cloak of invisibility—more like "others are too lazy or it's unnecessary to check." Once it involves deposits and withdrawals, cross-chain transfers, or gets attention, the records are there, and they can't be erased.

My own approach is simple: don't treat the chain as a diary, keep frequently used addresses as clean as possible, and when necessary, accept going through a few more steps. Don't expect one-click anonymity that everyone recognizes. Anyway, boundaries are always shifting; just because you can use it today doesn't mean you'll be able to tomorrow.

What I've learned isn't techniques, but that the idea of "privacy = default right" shouldn't be overly optimistic.
