Vitalik Buterin抢头香存 1 ETH！Ethereum隐私池0xbow上线，对普通用户来说有意义吗？

Ethereum online privacy pool 0xbow, V God strongly supports, but is it felt by ordinary users? (Synopsis: ETH Harden!) Pectra, Fusaka, Glamsterdam upgrade trio, core developers tell you where the future of Ethereum is) (Background added: Arthur Hayes predicts again: Ethereum will break through $5,000, SOL then stands at $300) The permissionless privacy tool Privacy Pools Launch Agreement 0xbow.io has been launched on the Ethereum mainnet to provide transaction privacy that Ethereum did not have in the past, while proving the legitimacy of the source of fundsIn an attempt to find a balance between privacy and regulation, the project is supported by V God and some VCs, and V God also deposited 1ETH to support the first time the protocol was launched, and this article attempts to introduce the protocol and its use, as well as the association with general users. The balance between privacy and disclosure In the cryptocurrency world, the transparency of transactions is a double-edged edge, and the blockchain’s public ledger itself ensures traceability and security, but also sacrifices the user’s financial privacy, and in the past, technologies that emphasized privacy and could not be traced were often vulnerable to sanctions from offices outside the United States, reducing the possibility of technology popularization, so how to balance user privacy with the prevention of illegal activities has always been a major challenge in the blockchain field, especially in the Ethereum ecosystem. The new semi-permissionless (semi-permissionless) privacy tool Privacy Pools was officially launched on the Ethereum mainnet on March 31, 2025.0xbow.io Privacy Pools’ funds, which utilize zero-knowledge proofs to prove that their deposits are unrelated to known illegal activities (e.g., hacking, phishing scams, sanctioned addresses, etc.) without revealing detailed data on transactions in the pool, have been highly appreciated by the Ethereum community, most notably by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. Buterin not only publicly expressed his support for the Privacy Pools concept, but also became one of the first deposit users of the platform. According to 0xbow.io data, by the beginning of the launch, the platform had attracted more than 21 Ether (ETH) deposits from 69 different transactions, including 1ETH of V God. The core technology of Privacy Pools is based on “correlation set (Association Sets)”, a method of batching multiple transactions into an anonymous pool, and when a user makes a deposit, the system performs screening tests to ensure that the funds are not associated with known illegal addresses or activities. These correlation sets are “dynamic”, and even if a deposit is initially allowed to join, if it is subsequently found to be related to illegal activity, the deposit can be removed from the correlation set without affecting the deposit status and privacy of other legitimate users in the pool. This design is designed to improve protocol robustness and compliance. If a user’s deposit is unfortunately flagged or removed, they can use the “Angry Exit (ragequit)” feature to safely withdraw funds back to the original deposit address. In the early stage, in order to ensure the stability and security of the protocol, the initial deposit limit of Privacy Pools is set at 1 ETH, and the deposit limit will be gradually increased after the protocol has passed the “combat test 0192837465656574839201battle-tested(” in more practical application scenarios. This careful strategy reflects the team’s high priority for security. From White Paper to Audit Passing Privacy Pools The theoretical basis stems from an academic white paper published in September 2023. The white paper was co-authored by Vitalik Buterin himself, Jacob Illum, chief scientist at Chainalysis, two academics at the University of Basel in Switzerland, and Ameen Soleimani, a strategic advisor at 0xbow.io. This paper that delves into how to build a privacy- and compliance-compliant funding pool has attracted a lot of attention from academia and the developer community, and has been downloaded more than 12,000 times to date, and has been cited in nine other academic papers, demonstrating its impact and forward-thinking. The 0xbow.io team successfully translates the theory in the white paper into actually working code. Before the official launch, Privacy Pools’ smart contract code has passed the strict audit of Audit Wizard. Audit Wizard, a well-known smart contract auditing firm co-founded by former Apple engineer Joe van Loon, provides important third-party verification of Privacy Pools’ security. This is an integral part of building trust for any DeFi protocol that handles user funds. In addition to early support from Vitalik Buterin, 0xbow.io announced investments from Number Group, BanklessVC, Public Works, and several angel investors. Actual user level and challenges Even if technically feasible, the physical challenges may not be ignored in reality, first of all, we understand that regulators usually want any financial unit to have a person in charge to blame, and Privacy Pools automates this work through technology, in fact, there is no way to avoid the bureaucratic influence of officials and regulators on it, whether 0xbow.io The creation of a dedicated regulatory advisory position or litigation fund may be the key. The two are trust, good technology without trust and brand support is usually difficult to play a substantive role, just to educate Ethereum’s privacy new features can be exempt from censorship issues, this light of national regulation is a very significant communication cost, not to mention privacy in the real world is still stigmatized as the need for “hackers and criminals”, people still have a big gap for the general privacy transaction. For the average user, transferring funds to Privacy Pools is of little use, because depositing into privacy pools has a fund check period of up to seven days, except for geek users who have very low time costs or value privacy, and special users who want to transact with Ethereum enthusiasts. But still remind that if technically allowed, in the world of cryptopunk, everyone can have a complete privacy interest, that is, my transaction except the counterparty, theoretically no one should know the details, even if it is a transaction to buy potato chips, no one should be able to peek.
