The Ethereum Foundation has publicly backed the development of privacy-preserving wallet tools after reposting a message related to Kohaku, a privacy tool being built for the Ethereum ecosystem. In comments tied to attack and exploit incidents seen over the past week, the foundation said privacy and security should not be treated as separate goals. It argued that making privacy protections a default feature can reduce the risk of attackers using a user’s on-chain history to carry out attacks. Developer Jordan Enev said the Kohaku team is working to make privacy a standard feature on Ethereum rather than a niche add-on. He added that the project’s SDK already integrates privacy protocols including Railgun, Privacy Pools, and Tornado Cash, and said development is becoming more mature. Enev also called on more wallet providers to move ahead with similar integrations.
