[Yuxian: Zcash Does Not Enforce Default Privacy, Its Balanced Design is More Understandable to Regulators]
BlockBeats News, December 10: SlowMist founder Yuxian published an article commenting on 'Arkham's de-anonymization of over half of Zcash (ZEC) transactions.' A high proportion of Zcash transactions being traceable is not a new phenomenon. During the previous cycle when privacy coins were a hot topic, Zcash was already like this. It does not enforce default privacy but allows users to choose. For example, addresses starting with 'z' are fully private, while those starting with 't' are transparent and traceable. This design makes Zcash more understandable to regulators compared to privacy coins like Monero (XMR), which enforces default privacy.
Currently, most Zcash addresses on mainstream platforms start with 't,' indicating that the group genuinely concerned about privacy is very, very small. Catering to regulation is the way forward for platforms. Compared to the truly hardcore Monero, Zcash's privacy design strikes a better balance, potentially allowing it to have a broader path forward.
