Working on a ZK privacy solution,
it’s been in the making since 2021.
My other builds are side projects,
they keep me inspired.

“Who is @FacelessPrivacy for?”
It’s for those that want to send and receive crypto privately using RAILGUN.
Less complexity. More simplicity.
Replying to @nymis_privacy @RAILGUN_Project
Anon, faceless, and soon Ambire are tops for simplicity. Faceless for ultimate simplicity but less features, connects to your normal wallet for a quick shield. Anon for toms of defi and good ux. Ambire for the most rabby like experience but better on all fronts.
When I first started building privacy tech, Railgun was the only direction that made sense for the Ethereum vision I had.
A few years later, that hasn’t changed.
If anything, I’d point to it even more strongly today. It’s matured.

Not intern shitposts some of the bullshit narratives faders push about Railgun:
1. Railgun has bad UX
-There is no "Railgun app", it's infra. @anondotinc and @FacelessPrivacy UX are easiest in the game, make private DeFi super easy unlike literally everything else, and @ambire will also be easy. Railgun is THE BEST UX in the game. You're just too dumb or galvanized to try.
2. Railgun contract is upgradeable by stakers omgrd.
-So it can withstand quantum upgrades, security can be upgraded in a decentralized way with stakers, security can be nimble, and its not stuck in stasis without a flywheel for perpetuity. Oh no, how terrible for privacy!
3. Railgun ppoi bad omgrd.
-PPOI is entirely noncustodial and strictly used by frontends, its an opt-in mechanism and frontend condition, not a strict requirement for any app. You're just confused. If someone wants to start a Railgun set without ppoi they can, they just haven't yet because the organic demand isn't there. Ppoi increased Railgun demand ten fold, because guess what, users want it you asshole. People who don't want ppoi just use tornado or something and have no need to use a non ppoi Railgun.
4. Railgun isn't decentralized enuf omgrd.
-Some of the bs you push or use is cabal run or full of vc money, or full of criminals and hackers rugging and scamming your very audience, or the list provision itself is self owned and controlled by some holy cow with an ego complex and u just use it anyway to save a few dollars or get virtue points. Railgun is staker controlled, never did a seed round, L1 centric, entirely self custodial, on-chain, running securely since 2021, and the best cryptography in the game.
5. Fees too high omgrd.
-So u gladly go use some cow shilled fake decentralized or fhe bullshit cuz its cheaper or they get runway from venture capital, nice. They literally sell you an illusion if cheapness. Yeah there's a 0.25% shield fee but once you are in ZK>ZK its free, and the fee pays stakers and sustains the protocol. Its a great flywheel, thata why Railgun is where it is. Protocol rev shared to stakers - a decentralized principle u refuse to understand. I guess in ur world sustainable runway is bad unless its some suit funding it or funded by magical crypto fairy dust..

It’s not enough for a chain to be decentralized, permissionless, and censorship-resistant.
It needs to be Faceless.

RAILGUN is live and being used in more ways than most realize.
Over a dozen third parties have integrated it without sponsorships or grants. Organic adoption.
Including: @Railway_xyz, @anondotinc, @FacelessPrivacy, Terminal, @railoxide, @Useloomio, @InstaSwap_io, + more

Some say "yeah yeah railgun great but how people use it u have to be a freaking expert omgrrrd" when we have faceless, anon, and countless other easy tools now and what they really mean is "i havent tried railgun tools but plx take my silver tongue seriously and use my slop app"

A chain isn't complete without privacy.
We bring private addresses to Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, and BNB Chain.
Be faceless.

My wallet got compromised, recently…
and honestly, it just made me realize how exposed many people’s onchain activities are.
But that’s why @FacelessPrivacy is making privacy easier by letting users switch between a regular wallet address and a private 0zk address through the 0zk Address Switch using @RAILGUN_Project
No new wallet or a complicated setup, just more control over what you choose to reveal.
When you need transparency? Use your public address.
and when you need financial privacy? Switch to your private address.
This solves one of the biggest UX problems in onchain privacy:
making privacy feel like a setting and not a completely different workflow.
Watch the video to see why this matters. 👇

The two ways to receive crypto:
- into your public address.
- into your private address.
Your call, both are easy to use.

RAILGUN is not a wallet. RAILGUN is privacy infrastructure third-party wallets can use.
RULER ³ retweeted
You don’t have to download anything to enjoy RAILGUN tech.
Here’s a reminder of the wallets we support:
- Rabby Wallet
- MetaMask
- Brave Wallet
- Rainbow Wallet
- Coinbase wallet
- OKX Wallet
- Zerion Wallet
Access them using our website.
Be faceless.

Your wallet belongs only to you.
Anyone can verify that:
- Your private addresses are derived cryptographically on your device from start to finish (no backdoor access).
- The app never makes network requests that send your wallet's keys or mnemonic phrases.
- The app is built from the public source code on our GitHub and deployed to IPFS. Our ENS record points to that IPFS deployment for access through gateways such as eth[.]limo.
- We don’t collect your personal data.
- We don’t track you.
All of this is independently verifiable through our GitHub repository, the IPFS deployment referenced by our ENS record, and your browser's developer tools.

Three types of people on-chain:
1. People unaware their wallet is public.
2. People who know and don't care.
3. People who use Railgun tech.
Be option 3.

RAILGUN is by far the best privacy you can get on ethereum today
-Not a mixer
-Regulatory resilience
-No admin keys
-Protocol delegated to stakers, not cult leaders
-Highest nullifier state growth, deep privacy set
-Active 3rdparty app eco
-At the forefront of hw msig
“Use @RAILGUN_Project with your daily wallet”
The goal with what I built is simple:
bring privacy to the wallets you already use, without installing anything new or learning unfamiliar terminology.
@FacelessPrivacy is the easiest RAILGUN integration to use by far.
Along the road, I've loved every day more @RAILGUN_Project.
It's a top-tier protocol, but what truly breathes life into its value is the network of people building behind the scenes.
Architects, devs, researchers, and core believers. Railgun is more than code, it is an international movement fighting for the missing pillar this ecosystem has always desperately needed.

And thanks @BarrySilbert, you were one of the first believers, but we're still waiting for you to tell everyone to stealth life harder.
Every day brings a new Railgun contributor.
Thank you guys, the ecosystem needed you so much.
