- 1New paper proposes private Bitcoin payments using Zcash technologyβΌInside the 'Shielded Bitcoin' paper that proposes private BTC payments using Zcash tech
A new research paper dubbed 'Shielded Bitcoin' proposes bringing private payments to BTC by adapting Zcash's shielded transaction technology. The proposal suggests applying zero-knowledge proof techniques so Bitcoin payments could be made confidential while remaining verifiable. CoinDesk examined the paper, which is drawing attention in crypto circles to the long-running debate over privacy and compliance on public blockchains.

Researchers have proposed a method for enabling private Bitcoin transfers based on the Zcash model. The proposal suggests adapting Zcash's zero-knowledge proof technology to shield Bitcoin transactions, addressing the blockchain's current lack of transaction privacy. The idea has drawn attention in the crypto community, where debates over Bitcoin privacy and regulatory scrutiny of privacy tools remain ongoing.

Signal has enabled registration without a phone number in Android Beta 8.28.1, with iOS support planned later. The optional feature is a one-time purchase costing $2.99 or β¬3.49, with payments processed using zero-knowledge proofs so transactions cannot be linked to accounts. Privacy-focused users welcomed the move as a step away from phone-number identity requirements, though the paid model has drawn some debate.

Commentary is resurfacing on the 'blockchain trilemma' β the difficulty of achieving scalability, security and decentralisation at once β which has kept blockchain from mainstream adoption. Writers point to persistent lack of transaction privacy and fragmented interoperability between networks, causing congestion, high fees and exposure of sensitive financial data. Zero-knowledge proofs are being floated as the technology that could overcome these limits.
