Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has suggested there may be a \u201clow-tech approach\u201d to incorporating privacy features ito nonfungible token, or NFT, transactions.<\/p>\n
In a Monday post on the Ethereum research channel, Buterin implied Merkle trees and Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Arguments of Knowledge, or ZK-SNARKs, were a more complicated method for stealth addresses for ERC-721 tokens, while proposing his own solution. The Ethereum co-founder suggested instead that smart contract wallets could include a method that would allow the sender to essentially mask their address to third parties.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou would be able to eg. send an NFT to vitalik.eth without anyone except me (the new owner) being able to see who the new owner is,\u201d said Buterin.<\/p>\n
\nIdea: stealth addresses for ERC721s.<\/p>\n
A low-tech approach to add a significant amount of privacy to the NFT ecosystem.<\/p>\n
So you would be able to eg. send an NFT to vitalik.eth without anyone except me (the new owner) being able to see who the new owner is.https:\/\/t.co\/UdqK6NAYjn<\/p>\n
