, the network that combines the fruits of the labor of two organizations, Polygon Nightfall offers zero-knowledge proof-based privacy technology, ensuring that only selected parties can see the full history of monitored assets. Also, while supply chain management is often cited as a compelling use case for Blockchain technology, businesses may have stopped adopting such tools due to the lack of privacy in transactions.

This is exactly the kind of commercial use case we envisioned when we started building and deploying the Polygon Nightfall network. Institutional use cases outside of financial services are still not widely developed. Privacy tools open up a whole new world for us.
