"Vitalik Buterin" reveals a new roadmap to enhance the privacy of Ethereum users
“Vitalik Buterin,” the founder of Ethereum, unveiled a gradual plan to improve privacy within the ecosystem of the currency, without compromising the core protocol.
The plan aims to address the apparent gaps in user privacy by integrating direct improvements at the application and electronic wallet levels.
Among the most notable proposals is the integration of privacy tools like “Privacy Pools” and “Railgun” within traditional wallets, to provide features such as protected balances and private sending as default options, which spares users the need to switch wallets or deal with complex settings.
Buterin emphasized the importance of separating user identity between applications, suggesting the use of a different Ethereum address for each application, even if it comes at the expense of usability.
He believes this approach aligns with the developments of application wallets and use cases across networks, which are already pushing towards new models for address management.
This initiative does not amount to complete anonymity, but it represents a gradual shift from privacy as an option to privacy as a standard.
