Vitalik Unveils Privacy-Preserving Crypto Tool Kohaku

BlockBeats News, November 18th, according to The Block, Ethereum founder Vitalik showcased the privacy-enhancing encryption tool "Kohaku" at Devcon, aiming to enhance the privacy and security of the Ethereum ecosystem.

Kohaku is an open-source initiative designed to enhance on-chain privacy and security. It provides a modular framework consisting of foundational components, allowing developers to build more secure, privacy-focused wallets without relying on centralized third parties. In the future, it may also incorporate additions such as a mixnet and other network-level anonymity tools, as well as a Zero-Knowledge (ZK) technology-driven browser.

At the Ethereum Cypherpunk Gathering, Vitalik emphasized that Ethereum is on a "privacy upgrade path," aiming to provide "privacy and security that is truly suitable for the real world."
