9.1 Comparison with Existing Privacy Solutions

Analyzing the limitations of traditional tools like VPNs, mixers, firewalls, and standard wallets.

The current landscape of privacy and security solutions is fragmented, with most tools addressing only one aspect of the threat spectrum.

• VPNs & Proxy Networks: VPNs provide IP obfuscation but fail to secure wallets, private keys, or on-chain activity. They protect browsing anonymity but not blockchain-level exposure.

• Mixers & Privacy Coins: While token mixers (e.g., Tornado Cash) and privacy coins (e.g., Monero) offer transactional privacy, they are often restricted by regulators, face compliance challenges, and provide no endpoint security against malware or phishing.

• Firewalls & Antivirus Tools: These defend against traditional malware but lack Web3-specific intelligence. They cannot protect against clipboard hijacking, wallet drainers, or deepfake phishing attempts.

• Standard Wallets: Popular wallets like MetaMask or Trust Wallet focus on usability, but lack built-in AI threat detection, stealth transaction routing, or advanced privacy features.

In short, existing tools operate in silos — forcing users to combine multiple solutions for incomplete protection. This creates complexity, inefficiency, and still leaves critical blind spots.
