Zcash vs. NEAR: Two Very Different Privacy Bets

Illia Polosukhin, co-founder of NEAR, and Mert Mumtaz, CEO of Helius, join Laura Shin to break down the week's privacy trade: NEAR's Intents Connect and confidential perps on one side, Zcash's NU7 upgrade and record ETF inflows on the other. They get into what NEAR's confidential layer actually conceals — funding and wallet attribution, not the order book — and whether chain abstraction is a real breakthrough or a well-branded coordination layer.
