1.2 The Trend of Breaking the Dilemma

From "Passive Defense" to "Active Control", Anonymous Consensus Becomes an Inevitable Choice

• The 2024 Global Internet User Survey shows that 78% of users said they "are willing to give up part of the convenience in exchange for more secure privacy protection".

• In the cryptocurrency field, the market value of "privacy coins" increased by 300% from 2023 to 2024, and the number of users of Monero (XMR) and Zcash (ZEC) doubled. More and more people are beginning to choose "anonymous transactions".

• In the workplace and social fields, "anonymous applications" have emerged quietly: an anonymous job-hunting APP has gained more than 10 million users within half a year of its launch, with the core function of "hiding name, age, and gender and only showing skills"; an anonymous social software has become the first choice for young people to escape the "information cocoon" because it "does not track, does not profile, and does not store chat records".

People are "voting with their feet": whoever can protect our privacy, identity, and assets, we will choose. "Anonymity" is no longer a "carnival for niche geeks", but a "basic survival need" for ordinary users.
