This section collects the strongest adversarial critiques of Dagon and
answers them directly. The goal is not to rebut every concern — some
are legitimate and unresolved. The goal is to be honest about what's
closed, what's open, and what we accept.

## Structure

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Regulatory" icon="gavel" href="/objections/regulatory">
    SEC, OFAC, MAS, MiCA, FINMA — how does Dagon survive contact with
    each? What classifications apply? What's unresolved?
  </Card>

  <Card title="Technical" icon="shield" href="/objections/technical">
    MEV surface, metadata leakage, FHE pragmatism, timing attacks,
    committee liveness. Where the crypto is strong and where it's weak.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Market" icon="chart-line" href="/objections/market">
    Timing vs. Arcium/Umbra, who actually needs this, TAM, positioning
    risk, kill criteria.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Our posture

* **We don't claim "never by breach."** That phrasing is unfalsifiable.
  What we claim is the shape of the disclosure path — see
  [selective disclosure](/dagon/concepts/selective-disclosure).
* **We don't claim timing moat.** Arcium / Umbra shipped before us. Our
  bet is mechanism depth and identity composition, not first-mover.
* **We don't claim TradFi replacement.** Canton wins today at
  institutional scale. Dagon's wedge is crypto-native institutions
  (prop, OTC, funds) whose compliance model is "respond to lawful
  process," not "prevent all disclosure."
* **We acknowledge pre-alpha state.** Today's devnet is plaintext-mock;
  mainnet is gated on Encrypt REFHE. If Encrypt slips past
  end-of-2026, the stack pivots.
