CoinDesk highlights a privacy challenge for crypto users as AI makes it easier to connect wallet addresses to the people behind them, while the blockchain’s permanence means those records do not disappear over time.

Michael Zhao of Grayscale Research explains that Zcash’s shielded transactions are designed to address this issue by hiding transaction details.

The outlet also points to Zcash’s adoption of the approach, noting that close to 29% of all ZEC ever mined now sits in the shielded pool.
