Jason Karsh from SDF hosts a panel with Robinson from Wormhole and Shiv from Boundless discussing how privacy and openness coexist in a multi-chain world. They explore zero-knowledge cryptography, interoperability, and institutional adoption barriers.
At a Stellar Development Foundation event, Jason Karsh moderates a discussion on privacy and openness with Robinson (Wormhole co-founder) and Shiv (Boundless CEO). The panel covers how blockchains can communicate through interoperability, the role of zero-knowledge proofs in enabling selective privacy, and the distinction between retail and institutional privacy needs. Key themes include the shift from binary privacy models to configurable solutions, the importance of regulatory compliance for institutional adoption, and the practical era of crypto where bottom-line value matters more than ideological purity. They discuss how privacy infrastructure like ZK proofs can unlock institutional payments on public chains while maintaining compliance.
