Let talk about
@EIP7503
WORM is a privacy experiment on Ethereum that uses a straightforward concept: disconnect transaction links without using mixers. This idea is based on EIP-7503, also known as Zero-Knowledge Wormholes.
Instead of sending funds through a contract, users burn ETH by sending it to an address that cannot be spent. That ETH is gone for good, no withdrawals or recovery after the burn. After the burn, a zero-knowledge proof is created.
This proof shows who owns the ETH and how much, but it does not reveal the wallet that burned it.
That proof lets you mint value to a new address.
There is no visible path or on-chain link.From the chain’s perspective, the events are unrelated.
This creates plausible deniability.
There is no direct interaction with a privacy contract, and there is no obvious trail of participation.
WORM also lets you selectively reveal information.
You can prove things when you need to, without exposing your entire history.
It operates at the application layer and depends on a public, trusted setup for its ZK proofs.
It is still in its early stages and experimental, but it is a serious step forward for Ethereum privacy.
Think of it like this : You’re not sending Eth from one address to another, You’re destroying proof of the past, then recreating value using cryptography. 🔐
