#Bitcoin Could Soon Get Zcash-Style Privacy Without Changing Bitcoin’s Rules
Researchers have developed a concept for private, Bitcoin-denominated transactions that could operate alongside the Bitcoin network without changing its core rules. The approach could bring stronger privacy to BTC transfers, similar to Zcash’s shielded transactions.
However, the system is still in development and doesn’t yet have a complete mechanism for securely locking real BTC and releasing it again.
