TREE NEWS update: The Ethereum Foundation endorsed Kohaku’s privacy-preserving wallet tools, saying privacy and security should not be treated as separate goals. Setting privacy as a default feature can reduce the risk of attackers exploiting users’ on-chain history, the foundation said, following a week of attacks and exploits. Developer Jordan Enev said Kohaku’s SDK already integrates Railgun, Privacy Pools and Tornado Cash, and called for more wallets to integrate.
Ethereum Foundation Backs Kohaku Privacy Wallet Tools
The Ethereum Foundation's endorsement reframes privacy as a security primitive rather than an optional add-on, a notable shift in how the ecosystem's most visible institution frames wallet design. The timing, coming after a week of attacks and exploits, gives the message added weight, though the explicit inclusion of Tornado Cash among the integrated tools will likely draw regulatory scrutiny. The practical question is whether wallet teams follow Enev's call to integrate, since an SDK's reach depends on adoption rather than endorsement alone.
