EtherFi is collaborating with Optimism to implement a privacy layer within its platform. This initiative aims to enhance user privacy by hiding basic information such as balances and transactions, taking privacy to 'the next level' beyond the current on-chain transparency.
“we are working with optimism to roll out a privacy layer on EtherFi that should hide like some of the basic information like balances and transactions.”
“I mean, at this point, it's not like they're public, right? It's like anything in DeFi. Like, yeah, if you know the wallets, address, but, um, that requires, you know, uh, doxing. And obviously you just see the number, the quantities, you don't know what, you know, what the person is buying or where or anything like that. So, uh, so there's, you know, there's a level of privacy, but we want to take it, uh, you know, uh, to a next level where, where everything is, uh, is private by, by default.”
