# What's Visible, What's Hidden

On a block explorer like Etherscan:

* **Visible**: Sender and recipient addresses, that a transfer occurred, the type of token (cUSDC vs cETH)
* **Hidden**: The actual amounts transferred, account balances, transaction values.

This design preserves usability; you can send tokens to addresses, interact with smart contracts, and use wallets normally, while adding a crucial layer of financial confidentiality.
