In the DeFi world, privacy and compliance are often seen as two opposing poles—either sacrificing privacy for transparency or sacrificing compliance for privacy. But a project is rewriting this dilemma.

Their core innovation is called Hedger, based on two major cryptographic black technologies: zero-knowledge proofs and homomorphic encryption. It enables truly private transactions on the EVM—users' transaction details can be completely hidden, while on-chain data remains 100% auditable. What does this mean? Institutional investors no longer have to choose between information confidentiality and regulatory compliance.

In January this year, their EVM mainnet officially went live. For RWA (Real-World Assets) and institutional-grade financial applications, it’s like having a key—able to deploy private DeFi applications to meet enterprise needs while complying with regulatory frameworks across different regions. This kind of privacy + compliance infrastructure is the real ticket for traditional financial institutions to enter the on-chain world. Privacy is preserved without compromise, and regulation is maintained without dropping the ball.
