Reported The Block, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin co-authored a research paper focused on a privacy protocol called Privacy Pools with core developer Ameen Soleimani, researcher Jacob Illum from analytics firm Chainalysis, and academics Matthias Nadler and Fabian Schar.
With what could be a potential alternative to the troubled <a target="_blank" href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/tornado-cash/overview">Tornado Cash</a>, they posit that financial privacy can co-exist with regulation.

The authors describe the new platform as "a novel smart contract-based privacy-enhancing protocol" designed to enhance transactional privacy on blockchains. Privacy Pools aims to leverage zero-knowledge proofs to determine whether user funds originated from lawful sources without revealing the complete transaction history.
The system aims to filter out funds linked to criminal activities while striving to find a balance between privacy and regulatory requirements.
