As crypto reeled from hacks, bankruptcies and regulatory heat in Q4, privacy tech quietly advanced. New tools, rising volumes and stronger legal defenses showed user anonymity gaining ground amid market turmoil.
Ethereum devs are developing a ‘Secret Santa’ protocol to bolster on-chain privacy, enabling anonymous gift-like transfers and obscured swaps. The initiative seeks stronger confidentiality for users.
A new roundup ranks the top 15 privacy-focused cryptocurrencies by fully diluted valuation under $100M, spotlighting under-the-radar tokens and movers including #ROVR, #SCRT and #ARRR in a changing market.
This study examines Nostr relays, detailing architecture, message-forwarding semantics, concurrency model, and empirical scalability under load, highlighting operational strengths, bottlenecks, and mitigation strategies.
This article analyzes Nostr’s decentralized architecture, cryptographic key management, and messaging protocols, assessing security guarantees, privacy trade-offs, and resilience against censorship.
This article defines the Nostr client architecture, detailing its decentralized relay model, cryptographic key management, and message encryption; it evaluates security trade-offs and proposes enhancements for privacy and resilience.
Examines Nostr’s decentralized relay model, public-key identity, and event relay protocol, assessing security guarantees, privacy trade-offs, and implications for censorship-resistant communication.
A Nostr protocol client implements a decentralized messaging architecture using cryptographic key pairs, relay-based data propagation, and optional end-to-end encryption; security hinges on key management, relay trust, and metadata privacy.
This paper analyzes the Nostr protocol’s decentralized architecture, cryptographic key management, and messaging semantics, assessing security guarantees, privacy trade-offs, and resilience against censorship and network threats.
Examines Nostr’s decentralized architecture, key management, and messaging protocol; evaluates security properties, privacy trade-offs, and implications for resilient, censorship-resistant communication.
