Cryptocurrency project Decred (DCR) has added privacy feature to its ecosystem.
According to the official blog post, the goal of the feature is to be simple, adaptable, and creative.
"Rather than take the routes established by privacy-focused projects, e.g. ring signatures, zk-SNARKs, or Mimblewimble, we decided to take a mixnet approach, where we have integrated the mixnet with our Proof-of-Stake (“PoS”) governance system," states the announcement.
The blog post claims the privacy is built on the CoinShuffle++ protocol from “P2P Mixing and Unlinkable Bitcoin Transactions” by Ruffing, Moreno-Sanchez and Kate.
Earlier iHodl reported that the Litecoin Foundation and Beam announced the cooperation to implement MimbleWimble via Extension Blocks on litecoin (LTC) to bring more privacy to Litecoin’s blockchain.
