Kohaku Brings Privacy by Default to Ethereum.
Vitalik unveils a modular privacy stack for $ETH wallets.
Vitalik dropping Kohaku today felt like one of those moments where you can sense the future shift under your feet. It’s an open-source toolkit designed to bring privacy and security straight into the heart of $ETH, building a modular stack for next-gen wallets that protect users without asking them to jump through hoops. Franchement, this is the kind of upgrade the ecosystem has been craving.
During the demo, a user managed to hide publicly visible funds thanks to a smooth integration with Railgun — showing exactly how Kohaku could make privacy the default, not an afterthought. And looking ahead, the stack may grow to include mixed networks for network-level anonymity and even ZK-powered browsers. That’s not just an upgrade… that’s a whole new philosophy.
Vitalik himself showed up at Devcon in a fresh new vibe, and he didn’t hesitate to throw shade at centralized failures like FTX, reminding everyone that its collapse came from a lack of transparency and a culture of blind trust. Ethereum, he said, survives because it’s built as a horizontal community — devs and users creating things for each other, not siphoning trust into a black box.
Sitting here by the sea, I couldn’t help but smile. This is the Ethereum I fell in love with — open, weird, ambitious, and always pushing toward something more human. 🌊✨
