以太坊隐私的曙光：Vitalik Buterin揭开了新的1层路线图

以太坊长期以来被称为分散创新的基石，可能是其最重要的转变的风口

In a move that could fundamentally alter the fabric of blockchain privacy, Ethereum may be preparing to offer transactional privacy options as early as next year, according to a new proposal by Vitalik Buterin.

根据Vitalik Buterin的一项新提案，以太坊可能从根本上改变了区块链隐私的结构，以太坊可能会准备在明年提供交易隐私选择权。

While rumors of a "ghost chain" or a radical shift in consensus were swirling, Buterin instead proposes a "maximally simple" Layer 1 privacy roadmap that begins with an emphasis on identity protection and existing privacy technology.

尽管关于“幽灵链”或共识的根本转变的谣言令人震惊，但Buterin提出了一个“最大简单”的第1层隐私路线图，该路线图从强调身份保护和现有隐私技术开始。

The initiative, which aims to bring real privacy to the Ethereum mainnet without overhauling its core fabric, has already sparked discussion and reactions from prominent figures in the crypto world.

该倡议旨在在不大修其核心结构的情况下将真实的隐私带给以太坊的私密性，它已经引发了加密货币世界中著名人物的讨论和反应。

No Layer-2s, No New Chains

没有第2层，没有新链

While Buterin does mention exploring "maximal extrapolable" privacy models like Zcash, he quickly pivots away from them, noting that they usually come with tradeoffs in terms of scalability or speed.

虽然Buterin确实提到了探索诸如Zcash之类的“最大推动性”隐私模型，但他很快就脱离了它们，并指出它们通常在可伸缩性或速度方面与权衡相关。

Instead, he focuses on four key areas where L1 privacy enhancements could be deployed without destabilising the core protocol.

取而代之的是，他专注于四个关键领域，可以在不破坏核心协议稳定的情况下进行L1隐私增强。

This isn't the first time Buterin has spoken about privacy in the context of smart contracts and dapps. In 2019, he explored the potential for privacy-preserving computation on-chain, highlighting the use cases for applications in DeFi and beyond.

这不是Buterin在智能合约和DAPP的背景下第一次谈论隐私。在2019年，他探索了链上隐私计算的潜力，突出了Defi及其他地区应用程序的用例。

One Address Per App: A Subtle Yet Powerful Shift

每个应用程序的一个地址：微妙而强大的转变

A cornerstone of the proposal is the move toward a "one address per application" standard. This simple change could dramatically reduce the breadcrumbs users leave across the Ethereum ecosystem.

该提案的基石是朝着“每个应用程序”标准的“一个地址”迈进。这种简单的变化可以大大减少用户在以太坊生态系统中留下的面包屑。

Apps would still be able to see their users' activity and engage in activities like user analysis or fraud prevention. But cross-dapp surveillance would become much harder, reducing the risk of wallet profiling and behavioral tracking.

应用程序仍然可以看到用户的活动并从事用户分析或欺诈预防的活动。但是跨DAPP的监视将变得更加困难，从而降低了钱包分析和行为跟踪的风险。

This ties into Buterin's overarching theme of keeping things "maximal simple" and focusing on the core value proposition.

这与Buterin保持“最大简单”并关注核心价值主张的总体主题有关。

"We want to make it harder to profile users across dapps, but still possible for dapps to see the activity of the users who choose to use them," Buterin explains.

Buterin解释说：“我们希望使跨DAPP的用户更加困难，但是Dapps仍然可以看到选择使用它们的用户的活动。”

It's an elegant solution to a complex problem, and it reinforces Buterin's core idea that privacy doesn't need to be complicated—just effective.

这是解决一个复杂问题的优雅解决方案，它加强了Buterin的核心观念，即隐私不需要复杂，这只是有效的。

Railgun, Privacy Pools, and Wallet-Level Integration

轨道枪，隐私池和钱包级集成

Rather than building new privacy tools from scratch, Buterin suggests leveraging existing solutions like Railgun for transaction privacy and Privacy Pools for coins.

Buterin并没有从头开始构建新的隐私工具，而是建议利用Railgun等现有解决方案进行交易隐私和硬币隐私池。

The key difference would be integrating these features directly into wallets and making them easily accessible to users.

关键区别是将这些功能直接集成到钱包中，并使用户轻松访问它们。

In this envisioned version of Ethereum:

在这个设想的以太坊的版本中：

This shift in architecture removes the technical barrier that has kept many users from adopting privacy solutions—no bridges, no complex UIs, and no extra steps.

建筑的这种转变消除了使许多用户无法采用隐私解决方案的技术障碍 - 没有桥梁，没有复杂的UI，也没有额外的步骤。

"We can make it easier than ever for users to choose to use privacy-preserving transactions and coins if they wish," Buterin concludes.

Buterin总结说：“我们可以比以往任何时候都更容易选择使用隐私的交易和硬币。”

Privacy vs. Compliance: Threading the Needle

隐私与合规性：螺纹

Buterin's roadmap also addresses a long-standing tension in crypto: privacy vs. regulation. While users crave anonymity, regulators fear it. Ethereum's new privacy path attempts to thread the needle by offering app-level visibility but obscuring user behavior across dapps.

Buterin的路线图还解决了Crypto：隐私与法规的长期张力。当用户渴望匿名时，监管机构会担心它。以太坊的新隐私路径试图通过提供应用程序级别的可见性，但掩盖了跨DAPP的用户行为来束缚针头。

It's a model that preserves internal transparency for applications—for example, allowing DeFi protocols to collect user stats or perform anti-money laundering checks—while rendering external surveillance more difficult.

这是一个保留应用程序内部透明度的模型，例如，允许Defi协议收集用户统计信息或执行反兑换洗钱检查 - 同时渲染外部监视更加困难。

Whether this will be sufficient to satisfy regulatory concerns remains to be seen, but it certainly reframes the conversation about privacy in a way that attempts to balance user preferences with the legal and political landscape.

这是否足以满足监管问题还有待观察，但它肯定会以试图在用户偏好与法律和政治格局之间取得平衡的方式重新构架有关隐私的对话。

A Quiet Revolution in the Making

一场安静的革命

At first glance, Vitalik's vision for privacy in Ethereum might seem like a series of small, incremental changes.

乍一看，维塔利克在以太坊中对隐私的愿景似乎是一系列小的，渐进的变化。

But the potential impact is anything but small. If successful, this roadmap could lead to an Ethereum where transactional privacy is possible, practical, and ultimately up to the individual user, all without sacrificing decentralization or usability.

但是潜在的影响并不小。如果成功的话，该路线图可能会导致一个以太坊，在这种以太坊中，交易隐私是可能的，实用的，并最终由个人用户而造成的，而无需牺牲权力下放或可用性。

In a world where data is power, this shift in transactional privacy options could fundamentally alter the nature of blockchain interactions—not with hype or hyperbole, but with quiet, meaningful change that prioritizes the user experience.

在数据是幂的世界中，交易隐私选项的这种转变可以从根本上改变区块链互动的性质，而不是炒作或夸张，而是安静，有意义的变化，将用户体验确定优先。
