Recently, I’ve been running tasks on a few L2s again, and I took the opportunity to try out some privacy-related features. To be honest, my expectations for “on-chain privacy” have long been lowered: it’s more about making your trail harder to see at a glance, not about making you completely disappear. If you really want to comply and investigate, the entry layer (exchanges, fiat on-ramps, KYC) basically draws the boundary, so ordinary users shouldn’t expect one-click invisibility.
Instead, now there’s too much information noise, with new L1/L2s incentivizing users to boost TVL, and old users start complaining about “mining, selling,” which I can understand… Everyone is racing to be faster, but as a result, on-chain profiles become clearer. My noise reduction strategy is just one sentence: only use a fixed small-wallet for tasks, don’t mix your main wallet’s social/receiving/trading activities all together, so you won’t have to explain yourself later. That’s it for now, I’ll patch up the pitfalls later.
