🛡️Universal EVM Privacy🛡️
Hold assets and interact with DeFi privately, no bridge needed. $RAIL
RAILGUN Community Education & News Account. (not devs.)
We’re joining @RAILGUN_Project to talk about closing those gaps with private information retrieval for PPOI queries, mixnet routing for anonymous RPC, and our work with the Ethereum Foundation’s anon-rpc.
Set a reminder on the Space below.
We’re also one of 13 teams in the @OctantApp Privacy Round. If you’d like to see more of this work, take a look at the projects and support the ones that matter to you.
Every vote helps, whatever the amount

What if your Ethereum wallet had an incognito mode, without giving up the DeFi you use?
“Railgun is a suite of smart contracts. And what they’re designed to do is create a private address standard.
“So very similarly to how Zcash works, you have the public side of Zcash and private side of Zcash. Railgun is handling that private side of Ethereum.”
“So what you do is you can generate a new private address with your seed and use that … private address, just like you would a 0x address.”
“And so a lot of the research that happens around Railgun is how do you make it do everything that a public address can do?
“Like, how you tap into the burgeoning economy that is on EVM and do that in a private way without doxing your wallet?”
“And so you can sort of think of it as, like, the incognito mode for Ethereum.”

Privacy isn’t a monolith.
It’s a stack.
Not a privacy coin.
Not a bridge.
Not an L2.
Not an alt L1.
Not a narrative for KOLs and VCs to extract.
Real decentralization comes from diversity.
Privacy used to be the biggest missing piece in DeFi.
This new @Edge_Pod episode with @tsu_kareta (hosted by @DeFi_Dad and @Nomaticcap) makes a strong case for why RAILGUN is one of the most important tools on Ethereum for closing that gap.

🙏 Thanks to @RAILGUN_Project Privacy Researcher @tsu_kareta for joining us!
New @Edge_Pod's out!
Zcash shields ZEC.
But @RAILGUN_Project shields any asset.
ETH, tokenized BTC, RWAs, DAI, USDC, USDT... and then it lets you use Ethereum DeFi privately.
"I want my privacy mechanism to be on Ethereum."
@tsu_kareta on the incognito mode for Ethereum.
Huge W for practical privacy.
$20M+ volume already moving in and out of shielded balances + over 3,500 private transactions through Anon broadcasters.
Keep building.
🚀 Announcing $20M+ in shielded and unshielded volume!
About $9.4M has moved into private balances, $10.6M moved back out, and 3,500+ transactions went out through Anon broadcasters.
🔥 Things are heating up. Practical privacy, wherever you need it!
RAILGUN gives stablecoins the property they were missing. Shielded USDC, USDT, fxUSD, and DAI are private by default. Transfers between 0zk addresses are free and not visible on block explorers.
Privacy that cash always had.
RAILGUN has the strongest protocol revenue and growth acceleration of any privacy protocol.
It enables privacy for any token amount, any token type, and any DeFi interaction on Ethereum.
The deeper the privacy set, the stronger the privacy.
Your on-chain activity is a public target.
Scammers, phishers, hackers, wrench attackers, copy traders, bots, and identity actors all use it against you.
RAILGUN is home defense.
Privacy that stops them from extracting from you or doing you harm.
RAILGUN is not a wallet. RAILGUN is decentralized privacy infrastructure for Ethereum.
No VC puppeteers. No bridge. No KYC. No custodial grift. Dozens of teams building. 8+ audits. 6+ years running. ~$5.5B in volume growing the privacy set.
Pure on-chain privacy.
Dozens of third-party integrations. Millions claimed in $RAIL staking rewards. Growing share of on-chain privacy activity. More teams building with it than any other on-chain privacy protocol.
RAILGUN is for builders.
.@Blockworks just dropped an upgraded RAILGUN dashboard.
A few highlights:
-Annualized revenue is $4.6M, or ~$382K a month vs. ~$288K in june.
-Staking rewards nearly doubled from 4.3% to 9.1%. Weekly transactions just hit an ATH of 5K.
