Kohaku
Privacy-first tooling for the Ethereum ecosystem
Kohaku is an open-source initiative by the Ethereum Foundation aimed at bringing privacy-by-default tooling into the Ethereum ecosystem. It comprises an SDK of privacy primitives, a reference wallet implementation (browser extension), and a collaboration platform for existing wallet teams to adopt composable privacy building blocks. The project recognizes that privacy leaks in Ethereum go beyond just on-chain visibility — they include RPC endpoints exposing IPs, address reuse across dApps, and metadata captured by analytics or monitoring systems. Kohaku addresses privacy holistically: from local light-client verification (to reduce reliance on centralized RPCs) to per-dApp account isolation (so one user session cannot be correlated across services). ...
