Recently, watching the L2s argue with each other over TPS, transaction fees, and the subsidy-driven ecosystem, I can’t help but laugh a little: they argue back and forth, but what ordinary people really care about is whether “my pot of soup can be recognized at a glance.” As for on-chain privacy—let’s be honest—don’t expect default anonymity. You receive an airdrop while signing with the same address everywhere, which is pretty much the same as holding a dish at the door and shouting, “I made this.”

My usual “address analysis” is like reading a recipe: where the ingredients come from, how intense the heat is (interaction frequency), and whether the timing for taking the dish off the stove is precise. The other day, I saw an address like 0x7c…9a. It had just transferred in from a bridge, and within 10 minutes, it clicked the same dApp three times. No matter how low the Gas/fees are, this kind of “busy, flustered” fingerprint can’t be blocked.

Don’t fantasize that the boundaries of compliance are simply black and white. It’s more like a kitchen hygiene inspection: you can clean up a bit, but don’t expect that no one will ever knock on the door. My expectation is—being visible on-chain is the norm. If you want to stay low-key, leave fewer traces, and don’t use all your pots on one stove. After all, don’t treat “privacy” like a free pass. That’s it for now.
