Plain-English guides to crypto privacy, wallet hygiene, and onchain traces.
Most crypto activity is not truly anonymous. Public chains can reveal addresses, balances, transaction histories, contract interactions, and behavioral patterns. This site explains what is visible, what privacy tools can and cannot do, and how legitimate users can reduce unnecessary exposure.

Anonymous vs Pseudonymous in Crypto: The Simple Difference
The simple difference between anonymous and pseudonymous crypto, and why most public-chain activity is pseudonymous.
Privacy types
Privacy is a stack of leaks to reduce.
A wallet can leak through public addresses, transaction graphs, apps, metadata, and selective disclosure choices.
Address Privacy
Avoid turning one wallet into your whole public identity. Covers fresh addresses, stealth addresses, public donation wallets, and wallet separation.
Transaction Graph Privacy
Reduce obvious links between funding, swaps, bridges, payments, and withdrawals. This is where private swaps, shielded pools, and careful timing matter.
App And Metadata Privacy
Wallets, RPC providers, dapps, frontends, analytics scripts, IP addresses, and browser sessions can leak context even when the chain interaction looks clean.
Selective Disclosure
Some systems let users prove or reveal specific information without exposing everything. Viewing keys, compliance proofs, and ZK identity belong here.
Security checklist
Wallet hygiene before advanced privacy.
Many privacy failures start as security failures: a bad signature, an unlimited approval, a reused public wallet, or a dapp that sees more context than expected.
- 01Do not sign messages you do not understand, especially blind signatures and urgent popups.
- 02Revoke old token approvals after using dapps, bridges, NFT marketplaces, and unknown contracts.
- 03Use separate wallets for public receiving, long-term storage, testing, and high-risk dapps.
- 04Check approvals with tools like Revoke.cash, Etherscan Token Approval Checker, and wallet security products.
- 05Assume screenshots, ENS names, public posts, Discord handles, and invoices can link identities to wallets.
- 06Prefer wallets and tools that explain their privacy limits instead of promising total anonymity.
