PANews reported on February 18th that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated in an article on the X platform that network-layer anonymity is a crucial component that has long been lacking in the current privacy technology system, and it is key to improving on-chain and off-chain privacy primitives. Current privacy technologies cover on-chain privacy solutions and off-chain zero-knowledge applications, but network-layer anonymity capabilities still have a significant gap. Furthermore, in some application scenarios, bandwidth requirements are low but latency is extremely sensitive; therefore, achieving a balance between low latency and high anonymity will be of great value to the development of related technologies.
