Privacy Layer 2
In addition to building a new public chain from scratch that integrates privacy features, many projects also choose to use zero-knowledge technology to add a privacy protection layer to existing public chains, solving the expansion problem of existing public chains while ensuring privacy, or using zero-knowledge technology. The combination of knowledge technology and blockchain solves specific problems and is more composable than public chains.
