What makes $RAILGUN different in the privacy race?
@tsu_kareta breaks down the architecture behind Railgun and why it was built differently:
• Designed to bring public-address functionality into a private environment
• Built from the ground up with new research rather than as a Tornado Cash fork
• Uses a UTXO-based system integrated into Ethereum
• Supports increasingly complex DeFi interactions and cross-contract calls
As DeFi evolves with cross-chain swaps, RFQs and lending aggregation, the challenge is keeping privacy infrastructure flexible enough to support what users actually want to do onchain
