JUST IN: Researchers propose framework for private transfers on Bitcoin without a need for a soft fork đ
đ Researchers have proposed âShielded Bitcoin,â a privacy-focused system designed to hide transaction amounts and counterparties using encrypted notes and zero-knowledge proofs.
The proposal would use Bitcoin as a public data layer while keeping the privacy logic outside Bitcoinâs consensus rulesâmeaning no soft fork would be required.
đ If developed further, it could open a new chapter for Bitcoin privacy and private transactions.
