Vitalik Buterin presents plan to enhance privacy on Ethereum
Vitalik Buterin, one of the founders of Ethereum, recently shared a detailed proposal to improve user privacy on the network. Posted on his blog on April 10, the document suggests a lightweight and practical approach, without the need for structural changes to the consensus of the Ethereum protocol.
The central idea involves incorporating privacy functionalities directly into digital wallets, with tools like Privacy Pools and solutions already used by projects such as the Railway Private DeFi Wallet. Buterin advocates that users should be able to activate a "protected balance" by default, with the ability to send amounts directly from this balance, without the need to install a specific wallet for that.
According to the developer, the goal is to make private transactions more common, making this option the default whenever possible. He also proposed the use of distinct addresses for each decentralized application (DApp), which would reduce traceability between different activities performed by the same user.
Despite acknowledging the loss of convenience, he considers this a practical solution to preserve privacy in decentralized environments.
