Spent my weekend tinkering with privacy-preserving contracts. Grabbed a basic Solidity template, replaced a regular uint with an encrypted type, and watched something pretty wild happen—balance calculations running on encrypted data, no plaintext exposure at any point. The kicker? Standard wallet setup, familiar dev tools, everything felt like a normal workflow. Guess that's the dream, right? Privacy tech that doesn't force you to relearn the entire stack. Still wrapping my head around how seamless it was compared to what I expected.
