What are Notes? Simply put, they are messages transmitted between accounts.

You might not realize that many everyday on-chain operations involve Notes:
- Transferring 5 USDC? That creates a Note
- Executing a swap transaction? The transaction amount is essentially a Note
- Voting on an on-chain proposal? Voting records also exist in the form of Notes

The beauty of Notes is that they can carry data while maintaining privacy. This is crucial for Web3 users.

So Notes is this thing after all. No wonder every time I swap, I feel like something is added. Turns out it's just generating Notes crazily. Privacy is indeed crucial; otherwise, all on-chain operations would be completely exposed, and that would be a real breach.

Oh, so this is Notes. I hadn't really thought that all the transfers, swaps, and voting are handled behind the scenes by it. That's pretty interesting.

ngl this privacy angle is kinda the whole point tho... been liquidated enough times to know that broadcasting every move on chain is basically asking for trouble lmao
