Stepping briefly away from Harpo’s technical deep dives to address an important development…
Last day’s news about DREX abandoning blockchain in Phase 3 stirred up quite a buzz across the ecosystem. Since Harpo was originally designed to address privacy challenges within DREX — as an EVM-compatible privacy layer — it’s natural for questions to arise about how this decision affects us.
🎯 Our position is clear:
The shift in DREX does not impact Harpo’s evolution. On the contrary, it reinforces our belief that blockchain is not the problem — there are deeper structural and political layers at play, which we won’t unpack here.
🚀 Why Harpo remains relevant:
✅ Universal solution: Harpo was never built solely for DREX. It’s a privacy protocol for any EVM-compatible network
✅ Broad use cases: Private DeFi, confidential payments, asset tokenization with privacy, and more
✅ Robust technology: Our ZK protocol remains valid and necessary, regardless of central bank decisions
✅ Operational infrastructure: As far as we know, blockchain infrastructure will continue to support other use cases
💡 A key reflection:
DREX’s temporary departure from blockchain doesn’t invalidate the technology. It highlights how nation-scale privacy and security solutions require time and technical maturity.
Harpo exists precisely to tackle these challenges.
📈 What’s next:
We’ll return to our technical focus in upcoming posts, diving deeper into our protocol and practical use cases.
This was a necessary pause to clarify our stance in light of recent events.
The journey continues.
The need for privacy in blockchain transactions remains.
Harpo keeps evolving.
