In the cryptocurrency community, we often talk about "risk" in a very vague way. Volatility, hackers, strategy failures—these are all risk factors that sound very professional. But honestly, when people discuss risk in the community, they are usually just calculating probabilities and reward ratios.



Traditional finance, however, is different. What truly makes the financial system uneasy is not the risk itself—it's that after a risk occurs, no one can clearly explain what happened.

Imagine a system failure. The technical team is stuck, and no one can explain how the problem was triggered, what the conditions were, how far-reaching the impact is, or whether it can be contained. At such moments, the system is essentially sentenced to death. Not necessarily because it will definitely crash again, but because users simply dare not continue to bet on it.

Thinking this way, I understand why some new public chains emphasize "explainability" in their architecture. Many public chains are not stuck on security vulnerabilities but on information black boxes. Transaction paths are convoluted, permissions are ambiguously assigned, transaction states are hard to audit, and in the end, they just throw out a line like "blockchains are like this" to brush it off. But traditional financial investors simply cannot accept this.

Effective system design should ensure explainability at the rule level. Once a certain on-chain operation is questioned, the system must be able to clearly answer: Why was this transaction allowed? Why did it happen at this specific time? Which participants have permission? Under what conditions can it be audited?

These questions may seem like details, but they actually reflect whether public chains can truly embrace institutional-grade users. Explainability is not just a technical issue; it’s a trust issue.

Well said, interpretability is indeed the killer feature.

That really hits home; the information black box is truly a powerful weapon.

Explainability has indeed been underestimated; retail investors don't care at all. It's only when institutions arrive that they realize how big the gap is.

That's the key issue; the information black box is the ultimate weapon.
