Stealth Transactions

Stealth Transactions

Stealth transactions are the backbone of Obscura AI privacy ecosystem. They ensure that every transaction on the network is untraceable and unlinkable, safeguarding users against surveillance and tracking.

How It Works:

1. Ring Signatures

   • Groups multiple transactions together, making it computationally impossible to identify the sender within the group.

   • Ensures that no single transaction can be definitively traced to an individual address.

2. Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs)

   • Obscura AI employs zk-SNARKs (Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Arguments of Knowledge) to verify the validity of a transaction without revealing the sender, recipient, or amount.

   • Allows transactions to be validated privately on the Ethereum blockchain.

3. Confidential Transactions

   • Obfuscates transaction amounts through Pedersen Commitments, ensuring that balances and transaction values remain private while maintaining verifiability.

4. Dual-Layer Obfuscation

   • In addition to on-chain anonymity, metadata such as IP addresses is hidden using decentralized mixnets and onion routing protocols.
