Ethereum devs work on ‘Secret Santa’ protocol to power privacy
A Solidity engineer proposed a protocol earlier this year using zero-knowledge proofs and transaction relayers to enable a Secret Santa-like feature on Ethereum.
Ethereum researchers are working on ways to deploy a protocol they first introduced earlier this year, which could supercharge privacy with zero-knowledge proofs.
Ethereum developer Artem Chystiakov shared his research on the Ethereum community forum on Monday, titled “Zero Knowledge Secret Santa (ZKSS),” which proposes a three-step “Secret Santa” algorithm. The paper was first introduced in January on arXiv.
Secret Santa is a popular gift-giving game played around Christmastime, in which a group of people exchange gifts anonymously. Each person buys a gift for another person as their “Secret Santa” and also receives a gift from their “Secret Santa.”
