TechFlow news, November 18 — According to The Block, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin officially launched a privacy framework named Kohaku at Devcon. This open-source toolkit aims to enhance privacy and security within the Ethereum ecosystem, providing modular components that allow developers to build secure, private wallets without relying on centralized third parties. Kohaku has already integrated protocols such as Railgun and Privacy Pools, enabling users to hide funds compliantly and provide "proof of innocence."
Meanwhile, the Ethereum Foundation has established a privacy team consisting of 47 researchers, engineers, and cryptographers, dedicated to making privacy a "first-class property" of Ethereum. Buterin emphasized, "Privacy is freedom," and stated that Ethereum is on a "privacy upgrade path" aimed at delivering "real-world privacy and security."
