Drawing on theoretical and empirical insights from recent research projects, the talk delves into the nuanced dynamics between privacy preservation and governance mechanisms, highlighting their implications for stakeholder trust, regulatory compliance, and the sustainable growth of DeFi ecosystems. This discussion aims to foster an interdisciplinary dialogue among academics from various fields, practitioners, and policymakers, fostering innovative solutions to overcome these challenges and create a neutral infrastructure for a digital economy.
