\begin{tabular}{llll}
\toprule
Tier & Privacy Level & Technology & Use Case \\
\midrule
Tier 0 & Public & Standard EVM & Transparent DeFi \\
Tier 1 & Shielded & zk-SNARKs & Private transfers \\
Tier 2 & Confidential & FHE & Encrypted DeFi \\
Tier 3 & Trusted & TEE (SGX/SEV) & Regulated finance \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\caption{Z-Chain privacy tiers and technology stack}
\end{table}
Users select privacy tier per transaction based on requirements.
