Hi guys, a lot of things have happened in DeFi.
Let's resume what happened :
mev devs are still kicking ass frontrunning exploit now xd
coinbase nft (lol)
celsius still, still what ? liquidated
exploits again and again…
tornado got rekt xd
This article is about privacy. In defi and the world of unhosted wallet you have a name it's 0x000… or sifu.eth. Tracking of addresses has become a not so shady place to live in, and some even make money from it. The first one we think of in this situation is @zachxbt.
If your adress is linked to a KYC CEX and you did something bad or scammed some people : you are fucked sorry. (and even if you dev something bad these days you will be awakened at 6am, see tornado dev)
On a little side note : this is complete bullshit, creators of www did not get sent to prison because silk road existed (going jail for writing open source code xd).
Authorities and governments do not like crypto, it is now a fact. Remember the “no intention to ban” well, that was bullshit and they will keep on banning other dApps and projects in the near future, as they see fit.
What can we do ? stop writing bullshit threads about who is better between GMX and dYdX because we don't care, they both have their own definitions of decentralized (dydx probably not a gud one, and gmx has an horrible ui.) dApps need to really be decentralized, (oracles used, frontend, immutable contracts), have twitter, discord and github alternatives that are decentralized (twitter alternative is Lens maybe ?, discord i have no idea probably impossible and useless, and radicle for git)
The most easy way to avoid that is Tornado ofc. But it got rekt and it could be tracked, it is hard but possible (mostly impossible with eth).
avoid USTresory xd
avoid mica in europe (and send those regulators to hell)
avoid random users tracking your move
sybil airdrops (i'm not, dont blacklist pls)
exploit protocols (even if you take the white hat path afterwards)
and other things, not so legal and I'm not gonna details them here.
Yeah a lot of use cases but also constraints :
it is often costly to anonymize funds
it takes time (will detail this later)
it is open to human error while doing transfer txs (yes it still happens)
you can end up with “dirty money” instead of your originally clean money (using tornado for exemple)
Lots of protocols and blockchains offer privacy, i'm not gonna detail whitepapers here just gonna give you routes to follow, name a few dApps that focus on privacy.
Ok so that's the most simple route, Aztec Network is a L2 that works with math (zk-SNARK) here is their cool landing page : https://aztec.network/vision (im hyped by Noir and maybe $AZTEC airdrop :) )
The route is easy to follow (save your usernames to remember them), it may not be fully private if you have +7figs, because shielding is capped to 5 ETH. The withdrawal takes 4 hours to process and it gets completed in about 2 hours. Count 5-20$ of fees for all the txs. Very gud way to go anon for 4-5 and 6 fig wallets.
Be smart, don't withdraw all the funds the same day, on the same fresh anon wallet. (don’t be this stupid french scammer mathys.eth xd)
You have some documentation here to complete my explanation : https://aztec-protocol.gitbook.io/zk-money/faq/frequently-asked-questions
It's gonna be fast because it is not live and cant be used for now.
zkSync is a ZK rollup, but not on mainnet. The team explained they wanted first to focus on scalability and not on privacy but their docs are clear about this subject: zkSync will enable privacy by default in the future.
During the fantastic OHM forks season, a cool exchange appeared : SideShift (here my ref link if you want :) ) To be clear it is centralized, fast, and most of the time less costly than bridges. Sideshift collects data about your device, browser, OS and your IP(god damn web2 company).
There are like 984786 ways to hide your ip so we are fine.
So what’s the trick ? Well you just shift your ERC20 to Monero as sideshift offers this swap (i don't know how much liquidity they got but it's probably good for 5-6 figs) once you receive your XMR on your freshly created XMR wallet you can send your funds to another XMR wallet, maximizing your privacy.
Once your funds are ‘unlocked’ for transfer (Monero has to block your funds for 20-30minutes to cover your funds among other txs) you can just shift back to a fresh wallet !
Like other methods dont do it on the same day and don't withdraw all the funds over to the same wallet.
Here a recap :
The most boring to use because it takes time and a lot of TXs. But basically you have to find a bridge and one which is not compliant to all those lists of blacklist addresses.
Gravity Bridge seems like a good one : https://spacestation.zone/ (i didnt test it yet) + you have this one too https://bridge.scrt.network/
Once you have your funds in the Osmosis zone, bridge funds to the Secret network. Wrap a part of your funds into sSCRT (this token is fully private, not SCRT), send funds to another fresh wallet. Now here’s the tricky part : to use sSCRT on the new wallet you need SCRT to pay for gas.
Solution 1 : ask a random guy on discord to send 0.01 scrt (a very random guy) Solution 2 : find a faucet : https://stakely.io/en/faucet/secret-network Solution 3 : Proceed to one of the 2 working solutions above to get some anon token on your srct anon wallet.
Once you have SCRT to pay for gas, just unwrap funds and bridge a piece of it, not all funds to the same address !
And that's it for now. I know Monero is working on Atomic swap with eth network.
To end this, I know 7-8 figs can't be anon via these routes, for such amounts tornado funds through 50+ fresh wallets then follow the routes I mentionned earlier, it will be much safer than doing 1 tornado “swap”.
Thx for reading this dear anon, I hope you will get reward using those protocols and get what you are looking for. I will continue to write on this mirror about web3 stuff its cool and there are lot of nice people.
To support my work (or just get me on that USTresory whitelist) here my address, i also enabled funding and I don’t fucking know what it is but thats fine.
And do not try to track others wallet, I could own I used Aztec :)
