Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposes an easy method to boost Ethereum blockchain privacy without changing its basic structure. The April 11 release describes Buterin’s proposal, which creates multiple tools to protect blockchain actions.

He proposes four privacy solutions that include making on-blockchain payments anonymous and partially encrypting user action in dApps while hiding blockchain access data and encrypting network communication. According to him:

“There should be a ‘send from shielded balance’ option, ideally turned on by default. This should all be designed to feel maximally natural from a UX perspective. Users should NOT have to download a separate ‘privacy wallet.’”

Default Shielded Balances in Ethereum Wallets

The roadmap stands out because it calls for including Railgun privacy technology directly into Ethereum wallets. Users will be able to work with shielded balances directly from their main wallets without external tools because the whole system will be built into an accessible and user-friendly design.

Buterin suggested users should be able to send private funds as default on their main blockchain wallet. Buterin suggested users should create separate wallet addresses for every dApp to stop activity monitoring across platforms.

Adding this feature to the user interface makes transactions more difficult but stops various apps from linking user activities together. This idea calls for automatic privacy protection when making send-to-self transactions.

Buterin’s plan follows industry standards for blockchain cross-network connection where users process data on multiple chains with different privacy levels. Ethereum would introduce private operations into mobile wallets to create consistent privacy protection, while users would not need to shift from their current digital transactions.

Buterin recommended TEE-based RPC privacy as a speedy solution, with PIR technology as a permanent solution for the future when network infrastructure develops further. He supported running dedicated RPC servers for each dApp while promoting better methods to combine evidence and designing safer keystore wallets.

The updates would transform Ethereum from a decentralized leader into a system that protects user privacy effectively. This plan could mark blockchain systems as leaders in personal data handling while maintaining system reliability and security.
