Privacy has a North Korea problem. @FoglightPrivacy solves it. Over $1 billion illicit funds from hacks have been laundered through Tornado Cash alone. It's what governments cite when they attack privacy tools and put developers in prison. If a privacy solution wants people to feel safe using it, it needs to answer one question: Can North Korean hackers *ever* launder money using your solution? The answer needs to be NO. Not "maybe", not "hopefully not", NO. Existing solutions fall short. They have guards to prevent known bad actors from joining, but when the guards inevitably fail, the best they can offer to law enforcement is a shrug and a "sorry, we tried". Governments need to track criminals. Standing in the way is a sure ticket to prison. That's reality. The simplest solution is a backdoor. Hide user activities from the public, but keep them transparent to the authorities so they can track criminals. It works, but if the authorities get hacked and your financial data leaks, your very life may be in danger. Not good. Foglight is the first privacy solution that allows the authorities to see activities of criminals, but not law-abiding users. Foglight gives the authorities visibility of private transactions, but it's limited and above all accountable. Authorities can't run a panopticon, they only get a foglight.

I've been heads down building @FoglightPrivacy to bring privacy to Ethereum users, but I've never shared what Foglight is and why it will be the one to finally achieve the impossible. This is your first sneak peek. Fear is the main reason 99 % of Ethereum users have zero privacy today. - Users fear being banned from exchanges or even having bank accounts forcibly closed, simply because they used a privacy tool. - Wallets and apps fear getting prison time on money laundering charges. This fear is the key thing to overcome, and no privacy solution addresses this sufficiently as evidenced by the near-zero privacy adoption today: - Railgun has <200 daily users - Privacy Pools has <50 daily users Foglight will be the only solution that can resolve this fear. How? By offering a privacy system that satisfies two seemingly conflicting requirements: - Government authorities must be able to trace money laundering transactions and get exact details - Law-abiding users must know their privacy remains intact with certainty Foglight is the first practical privacy solution.
