A blockchain is a public ledger of truth that anyone can validate right? Well not so fast. Having transactions all be public sounds nice but in reality, is a limiter for safety and security. What if a chain could offer privacy and still trust public validation? On this week's podcast, Brendan Kittredge of Secret Chain Offers insights into the value of "secret" transactions on chains and how it all works. He also discusses becoming a validator and how to get started.
