Vitalik Buterin: Network layer anonymity is a key missing element in privacy infrastructure

ETH4,4%

PANews February 18 News, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on X platform that network layer anonymity is an important missing component in the current privacy technology system and is crucial for improving on-chain and off-chain privacy primitives. Currently, privacy technologies cover on-chain privacy solutions and off-chain zero-knowledge applications, but there is still a significant gap in network layer anonymity capabilities. Additionally, in some application scenarios, bandwidth requirements are low but latency is highly sensitive. Achieving a balance between low latency and high anonymity will be of great importance for the development of related technologies.
