The most cypherpunk UI in crypto is the RAILGUN-integrated CLI, especially if you have at least dual monitors You can privatize your ERC-20's and DeFi activity while larping as Hugh Jackman from Swordfish It's also very stable.

Bullish areas in which I think RAILGUN can and does improve Ethereum privacy... 1. Aggressive utility development. Being a groundbreaker in novel implementations like morpho, fx, stealth addresses, mobile, hardware, multisigs, and much more in the works RAILGUN can take a dominant position in truly anonymous utility, not just obfuscated or quasi-anonymous utility. It's important that we aggressively take the lead on new novel utility in DeFi. 2. Better staker coordination. w new staker chats (in the works now by third party stakers), now double eth/dai/rail staker rewards (track them on blockworks railgun dashboard), and protocol upgrades underway, RAILGUN can continue to prove that staking is a good way to preserve upgradability (for things like quantum resist among others) in a maximally decentralized method without relying on boards or vcs. RAILGUN can prove that "trust the stakers" trumps "trust the sacred cow" or "trust the shitposter" or "trust the board of executives" or "trust the enshrined chain-wide solution" by avoiding a single point of failure. Can this system be further improved with things like interfold? Me thinks yes. Hint hint @auryn_macmillan 3. Better education around PPOI. Few understand (including myself for quite some time) PPOI is compliance through optionality vs compliance through full conditionality, and in its own ways is superior to every other compliance mechanism. This reflects a lack of education on the UX/information side of PPOI design. PPOI took partial inspiration from Tornados frontend OFAC cross compliance check, and Vitaliks writings took partial inspiration from both this and PPOI (and vise versa). Tornado contrary to narrative has a compliance mechanism on the frontend via OFAC list. RAILGUN wallets/frontends also have a a compliance mechanism. Frontends have a choice. They can use the current list key, make another list key, or not use one at all. This may require things like setting up new broadcasters or fostering new anonymity sets, but by design it is possible (and you may see manifestation of this optionality coming to light soon), so wallets and frontends CAN choose. There may be ways to improve this optionality and lower friction for the optionality, without compromising the PPOI design as an area of improvement. Furthermore while some other privacy systems choose to work with a single glorified list provider or run their own proprietary list provider, PPOI allows wallets to utilized 3rd party list provider APIs, and it always remains noncustodial in that funds are never seized, and there is also no manual retroactive rejection. Another area of improvement: much better transparency about each list provider can be fostered in currently utilized systems, and what those providers do, as well as much better transparency about how optionality is achieved. 4. Better CROPS alignment. Can compliance mechanisms be more optional for users, can FOSS ideals be better facilitated by staker upgrades, and can the integrity of staker security be maintained? It's important to know that a protocol is an evolving thing, as we have seen with Ethereum. Ethereum is POW then POS, has a foundation, had a pre mine, and many other elements that could be considered imperfect and not CROPS aligned in themselves. But we must not let perfect be the enemy of good. A protocol is an evolving organism and can always be improved. So let's work as stakers to facilitate positive change and make RAILGUN embody the ideals of Ethereum. Let's take the people who seem malicious or rude toward us and figure out their positive intent, perhaps some of them misinformed or uninvolved or malicious, but can we practice some introspection and improve the protocol as a result. When I have practical disagreements with people, even when im strictly objective they sometimes see this as an attack. Well, we all have this ego shortcoming but disagreementis that grow Ethereum can also grow protocols on top of it. 5. New chain expansions. Base, Robinhood, and yes, even Solana. Liquidity flows between chains and it doesn't have to be mutually exclusive. 6. Better UX. better Dev x. Less clicks. Broadcasters, sync state, ppoi disclaimers/education/ui, mobile, and more. 7. Better dev tooling. Reloaded SDK coming soon goes heavily in this direction, and what if better tools can be developed like docs optimized for LLMs. Can third party devs implement RAILGUN without talking to anyone? So much more I can harp on here but its well into tldr territory and ill expand more another time. /endrant

Railgun TVL denominated in ETH is holding near ATH, and the capital sitting inside the system has grown YoY — even with the major assets trading lower. The protocol is processing more operations while the average size per transaction shrinks (in the segment it's down 44% YoY). That points to a shift toward more frequent, smaller usage. Fees per transaction have fallen accordingly. But the total volume of fees Railgun collects is still fairly high, only slightly below last spring's peaks.

@TotalWorldApps @RAILGUN_Project @anondotinc There was Railway mobile but clunky and now unsupported. Railgun is unique in its properties and set size, and Anon is the first wallet to offer smooth mobile UX + never before seen defi features, so yes I'd say this is groundbreaking and novel.

.@anondotinc is by far the most advanced and DeFi synergistic @RAILGUN_Project integrated wallet. First to the punch on mobile, first to the punch on seamless DeFi integration (easily use any dapp privately), and soon first to the punch on hardware integration. Literally all you have to do is seed a stealth address and you can use ANY defi app privately. Cowswap, uniswap, whatever. Insanity. Every layer is private/secure. No server/metadata leaks, advanced recovery options, advanced sync state, advanced/fast broadcasting options, extremely active updates, and top class user support from the devs themselves. Incoming: simple/pro mode, improved tooltips/tutorials, mobile, better on boarding from familiar wallets, and much more. Many want to wait for Kohaku, but let's be real. If you trust code, its hard to deny this wallet as the best self-custodial privacy wallet. While Kohaku will make private wallets easy and help open the privacy floodgates, I have a hard time believing anything but Anon will be the frontrunner when it comes to advanced privacy UX (and probably also easy privacy UX) for many years to come. They are just so far ahead and achieved this level of development in a matter of 6 months, truly incredible dev speed. There is no better architected wallet in crypto when it comes to on-chain privacy features. GG.
