Privacy is normal. Privacy is required for professionals. Nobody should see your medical bills. No one should see your payments to the family lawyer for advice.
This is both law & morality.

RAILGUN: A smart contract system that allows users to make invisible, trustless transfers; and allows users to interact with any DeFi apps without revealing their Ethereum address, strategies, or balances.
Vitalik Buterin today mentioned RAILGUN as an example of a privacy protocol people could use on Ethereum.
In fact, RAILGUN is a deployed example of a system
@VitalikButerin
also theorized with his Privacy Pools paper.
All ETH bigbrains value privacy. Thanks for Ethereum, VB. 😎👏

The first RAILGUN integrated privacy wallet for iPhone, Railway Wallet, is live on iOS.
It's the first app of any kind with an EVM-capable zk-SNARK prover - a real achievement in research. We are very proud to partner with Railway.

RAILGUN uses Privacy Pools, a proof of non-interaction system designed to keep out bad actors while maintaining complete self-custody and anonymity.
Privacy is legal. Moreso, privacy is a right.
Privacy is normal.
Railgun uses the privacy pools protocol ( ) which makes it much harder for bad actors to join the pool without compromising users' privacy.
Nearly 10 years since the genesis block, Ethereum's universal privacy layer is finally here.

Giving all Ethereum dApps and smart contracts the superpower of privacy
Let's look at the radically new frontier of private by default Ethereum.
🧵 👇
Ethereum was built without privacy, at the time, when you made a new wallet, you made a public address (0x567a...)
Now, you can make a private address (0zk567...) it's a *zk address*. It can do all the same things, but anonymous & private. That's RAILGUN &

Feast your eyes on this huge update here:
Or bookmark this 🧵for a summary 👇
1/ Railgun has solved privacy for stablecoins & defi.
The DAO launches June 30th, with RAIL tokens fully mobile. Source code will be open and audited.
RAILGUN will be the only way you can safely be private as you trade on DEX and farm.

🧵on how The Graph's tools upgrade the RAILGUN UX.
In just the first 100 days of 2024, RAILGUN has seen >$230 million in private volume, resulting in ~$580,000 in $RAIL staker incentives.
More transaction volume adds permanent privacy to RAILGUN, enhancing anonymity on Ethereum's universal privacy standard for all users.

You can see how the private Ethereum balance feature of RAILGUN works here: after even 1 internal transaction to or from another RAILGUN user, nobody from outside can see how much is in your RAILGUN address balance or which tokens they are.

Circuits
Starting Thursday 9 March at ~6am EST, 54 new advanced circuits will be integrated into the
#RAILGUN
#Privacy
System.
This upgrade will boost usability, boost reliability, and unboost gas costs.
So what are circuits?🧵👇
🧵 & 🧈 Pt 1: What is
#ZK
& How does
#RAILGUN
use ZK?
#ZeroKnowledge
underpins the advanced encryption in RAILGUN. ZK is vital in
#crypto
privacy as they let you assert the truth of something without revealing what that something is.
Let's take a 👀 at how❗️
RAILGUN is not a mixer, funds are not mixed in RAILGUN.
Each user builds a fully separate zk address within the RAILGUN smart contract.
People can only guess at who might be unshielding funds from RAILGUN - there's no way to be sure, and any guesses are dubious at best.
1/2
Make no mistake: RAILGUN is the *only* system that can do private & anonymous smart contract interactions on Ethereum - Today! Any others are just plans, promises or dreams.
2023: A Year in RAILview 🍾 🥂
Happy holidays and new year. 2023 has been huge for crypto in general and your favorite on-chain privacy protocol is no different.
To ring in 2024, let's take a moment to celebrate the last 12 months of RAILGUN.

0zk addresses are stealth addresses!
You can make them using any wallet that uses RAILGUN SDK - including Railway
Then trade without any whale alert.
SNARK ACTUALLY STANDS FOR SUCCINCT NON-INTERACTIVE ARGUMENT OF KNOWLEDGE SO YOU CAN SELECTIVELY REVEAL INFORMATION LIKE BEING ABLE TO ACCESS AN ACCOUNT WITHOUT REVEALING TOKEN TYPE AND BALANCE ALSO CALLED A 0ZK ADDRESS RUNNING FULLY ON ETH BLOCKS NO BRIDGES OR VALIDATORS SO SECUR
Railway Wallet and other RAILGUN integrated wallets are the easiest way to get true on-chain privacy.
Cypherpunk ideas are well and truly alive in the RAILGUN protocol.
Railgun launch is rescheduled to Saturday.
All will have good time to read the audit report and source code before we launch. Description of the token economics is already posted in group
Audit report: Friday.
RAIL Launch: 13:00 UTC SAT. JULY 3rd.
The best privacy solution on Ethereum is RAILGUN, and thousands of users have adopted the protocol with an avg tx size over $25,000.
One ENS has been using it since October: 🔥vitalik.eth 🔥
The best time to start was 6 months ago, the 2nd best is today.

Firo's expert team will assist RAILGUN's Ethereum DAO system & will be given access to RAILGUN resources.
RAILGUN project and the DAO are unaffected by the FTX & Alameda drama. Being a decentralized project and a DeFi project, there is no reliance on any ceFi service.

The snapshots for the RAILSOL ( Railana?) airdrops will be NOVEMBER 30 and JANUARY 15.
Anyone who is staked continuously for both of these periods will receive 2 RAILSOL DAO tokens - for each 1 staked RAIL!
Railway Wallet is live now for fully anonymous and private transfers and even anonymous DEX trades. It uses RAILGUN, so your address is hidden when you trade.

comment if you liked it before it was cool
Announcement: Railgun will create an internal DEX within the Railgun system. It will become the most private DEX possible with blockchain technology. This will be live by December.
Railgun DAO launches June 30.
All RAIL token holders will be able to vote on what code gets deployed in this decentralized system.
*Any funds from Railgun fees all goes to a DAO treasury. The RAIL holders can send this ETH anywhere they like, even to themselves. It will be big.
*Stablecoins*
are the "killer app" of crypto. On EVM chains, they are the most used smart contracts by far. And the "killer app for stablecoins" is RAILGUN privacy. No other system allows the same security and freedom while also sealing your balance, for your eyes only.
It's been < 2 years since the RAILGUN beta.
Since then, Ethereum has enjoyed next gen privacy. 🛤️ 🔫 is now expansive privacy infra with private transfers, swaps, LP provisioning, and yield.
Let's look at some key milestones since launch and what else is coming up for 2024.

Ethereum's on-chain privacy protocol keeps growing in importance & TVL 📈
Confirmed trusted by Ethereum OGs as THE privacy protocol for public networks. Privatizing Ethereum has limitless potential & RAILGUN will catch all of this private flow.
More to come in 2024.

Check your BSC wallet...
Multi token send with no trace of whom sent it...
Internal, private to private, transactions don't show up on Etherscan at all.
Hence you can OTC, bribe, pay, store or trade NFTs completely anon.
Soon matcha swaps.
It's cool to see how far Ethereum scaling has come from the early plasma days to the generalized rollup model.
RAILGUN will keep adding privacy to
