## Overview

The Hub itself has no privacy, and the 2026 stack roadmap still lists it as research. Confidentiality lives on separate chains reachable over IBC: Penumbra's shielded DEX, Namada's multi-asset shielded pool and Secret's TEE contracts. All three had a difficult 2026, with Namada's pool drained of roughly 600 thousand dollars unnoticed and Secret losing 4.67 million through a bridge exploit.
