📉 Vitalik just unveiled Ethereum’s most ambitious privacy upgrade yet - and the market reacted like it didn’t even hear him.
Kohaku is a native privacy framework that adds stealth addresses, encrypted P2P channels, and local wallet validation - all while staying fully compliant. No mixers, no shady detours. Just smart cryptography wrapped into the Ethereum stack 🔒⚡️
The idea is simple: temporary one-time addresses break the trace between sender and receiver. Your wallet checks everything locally, on-chain reads go through secure environments, and all app connections are encrypted. Privacy without turning $ETH into a regulatory headache.
🔸 The rollout spans four stages (2025–2026): browser extension → L2 expansion → privacy-focused ETH browser → full ZK-based account features.
Market response? $ETH is stuck near $3,020, down ~6% since Devcon. Classic.
👉 Still, privacy + optional transparency might be the most important $ETH upgrade nobody is pricing in… yet.
