Ethereum Developers Enhance Privacy with Zero-Knowledge Protocol
According to ChainCatcher, Ethereum developers are refining a zero-knowledge protocol aimed at enhancing privacy for on-chain interactions. The initiative begins with a system akin to a 'Secret Santa' matching process, which could evolve into a broader private collaboration tool.
Solidity engineer Artem Chystiakov revisited this research in a post on the Ethereum community forum, highlighting work he initially published on arXiv in January. The concept seeks to replicate the anonymous gift exchange game on Ethereum, where participants are randomly paired without knowing who is gifting whom. Implementing this on a transparent blockchain requires addressing longstanding issues related to randomness, privacy, and resistance to Sybil attacks.
Chystiakov noted the core challenge: "Everything on Ethereum is visible to everyone." The blockchain lacks true randomness, and the system must prevent users from registering multiple times or assigning gifts to themselves. The proposed protocol employs zero-knowledge proofs to verify the sender-receiver relationship without revealing identities. It also uses transaction relayers to submit operations, preventing a single wallet from being linked to specific actions. This type of zero-knowledge layer could be applied to anonymous voting, DAO governance, whistleblower channels, and private airdrops or token distributions that avoid disclosing recipient information.

By 2032, Bitcoin’s share of 401(k) allocations could range from a tiny 0.025% to a transformative 1.5%.
The conservative case adds a slow, long-duration demand stream, while the medium scenarios introduce BTC to retirement accounts without meaningfully reshaping supply dynamics. But in the aggressive case, retirement flows of roughly 76,500 BTC per year surpass miner output, marking the first time demand from this sector would exceed new supply.
