Today's Story - 3 In the mountains lived an old carpenter, skilled in his craft and renowned far and wide. The doors he made were sturdy and durable, but he never locked them. Someone asked him, "Aren't you afraid of being robbed?" The old carpenter smiled and said, "Doors are meant to protect the home, not to show off what’s inside." Later, a thief came to the village, took a look around, and left empty-handed. He muttered, "Strange, every house has a door, but I don’t even know which house has something worth stealing. What can I take?" —— This is very much like our digital lives today. Blockchain was supposed to be the "sturdy door" to a decentralized future, ensuring trust and security. But for a long time, this door, while solid, was transparent on all sides—every transaction and every action you take on the chain is permanently public, allowing anyone to track, analyze, and even misuse it. Privacy has become the sacrifice behind the progress of blockchain. Until now, the situation is starting to change. @tenprotocol is redefining on-chain privacy: allowing data to be like the home behind the door, where you decide whether to open it and to whom. Now, you can control your on-chain information just like setting privacy permissions on social media. Want to borrow in DeFi? Others don’t need to know how much you borrowed or if you have collateral; the system can still verify your credit. Bought an NFT you love? You can share it only with friends, without being tracked by the entire network. While gaming, your rare gear and progress can also be kept confidential. Smart contracts continue to run as usual, and network security remains intact, but your information is no longer "publicly broadcasted." Transparency and privacy are no longer mutually exclusive. @tenprotocol brings blockchain back to its original intention—not to expose everything to the public, but to use technology to protect everyone’s autonomy. This is a more reasonable and humane on-chain world: the door remains sturdy, but the privacy of the home is protected by you. #TENProtocol #DeFi #PrivacyLayer #CookieSnaps #Cookie @cookiedotfun
