# PAP - Pragmatic Adaptive Privacy

## Docs

- [Introduction](https://corpus-core.gitbook.io/pap-colibri-stateless/readme.md): Pragmatic Adaptive Privacy (PAP) — A Structured Model for Trustless, Adaptive, and Practical Privacy in Web3
- [Privacy Rethought](https://corpus-core.gitbook.io/pap-colibri-stateless/the-problem/privacy-rethought.md): The anatomy of the Web3 privacy problem: why on-chain privacy mechanisms are incomplete and what a systemic approach to privacy in decentralized systems requires.
- [Privacy in Today's Web3 Stack](https://corpus-core.gitbook.io/pap-colibri-stateless/the-problem/privacy-in-todays-web3-stack.md): How dApp data flows expose user identity and intent through the Web3 infrastructure layer, and why existing privacy approaches shift observation without eliminating it.
- [Privacy as a First-Class Primitive](https://corpus-core.gitbook.io/pap-colibri-stateless/the-problem/privacy-as-a-first-class-primitive.md): Why privacy in trustless systems must be verifiable, adaptive, and resource-efficient — and how these three requirements define the design space for a viable Web3 privacy model.
- [Pragmatic Adaptive Privacy](https://corpus-core.gitbook.io/pap-colibri-stateless/the-model/pragmatic-adaptive-privacy.md): Overview of the PAP model and its four core parts.
- [The PAP Model](https://corpus-core.gitbook.io/pap-colibri-stateless/the-model/pragmatic-adaptive-privacy/the-pap-model.md): How PAP models privacy through two independent dimensions and combines them into Privacy Profiles.
- [Pragmatic Privacy](https://corpus-core.gitbook.io/pap-colibri-stateless/the-model/pragmatic-adaptive-privacy/pragmatic-privacy.md): Why PAP focuses on reducing Actionable Information Leakage within the Operational Privacy Window.
- [Adaptive Privacy](https://corpus-core.gitbook.io/pap-colibri-stateless/the-model/pragmatic-adaptive-privacy/adaptive-privacy.md): Why privacy requirements vary by context and how PAP selects Privacy Profiles per operation.
- [Privacy Application Layer](https://corpus-core.gitbook.io/pap-colibri-stateless/the-model/pragmatic-adaptive-privacy/privacy-application-layer.md): How PAL translates Privacy Profiles into concrete execution strategies while preserving trustless verification.
- [Applying PAP](https://corpus-core.gitbook.io/pap-colibri-stateless/application/applying-pap.md): PAP in practice: deployable today without protocol changes, applicable across wallets, DeFi protocols, AI agents, IoT devices, and enterprise systems through a common privacy abstraction.
- [Summary and Outlook](https://corpus-core.gitbook.io/pap-colibri-stateless/summary/summary-and-outlook.md): Summary of the Pragmatic Adaptive Privacy model and outlook for adaptive privacy as a fundamental and deployable property of Web3 systems.
