Ethereum developers have launched Kohaku, a roadmap aimed at improving wallet privacy and security through a modular framework designed specifically for developers and advanced users.
The project was announced in a blog post by Ethereum Foundation coordinator Nicolas Consigny on Thursday, outlining plans to build a set of privacy and security primitives for the Ethereum ecosystem.
The core goal of Kohaku is to create a software development kit (SDK) for building secure wallet functionalities, along with a reference wallet that demonstrates how these tools work in practice. The first version will be launched as a browser extension based on the Ambire wallet, designed for advanced users seeking more control and privacy.
Kohaku is collaborating with well-known teams in the Ethereum ecosystem, including Ambire, Railgun, DeFi Wonderland, Helios, and Oblivious Labs. The project is open-source and encourages developers to contribute through its GitHub repository.
Kohaku's main objective is to reduce wallets' reliance on centralized services that can track transactions. The project will include features such as private sending and receiving, hiding IP addresses, setting up independent accounts for each DApp, and P2P transaction broadcasting that bypasses normal remote procedure call (RPC) servers.
It also plans to add social recovery options using tools like ZK Email or Anon Aadhaar, making it easier to regain access without sacrificing privacy. ZK Email uses zero-knowledge proofs for anonymous email verification, while Anon Aadhaar allows users to prove their identity in a privacy-preserving manner.
In the long term, the team's goal is to bring wallet security closer to device-level, which they refer to as "as close to the silicon as possible." This means creating a native Ethereum browser where users can securely interact with DApps, IPFS content, and decentralized networks without data leaks.
On Wednesday, the Ethereum Foundation launched a new initiative called "Privacy Cluster," bringing together 47 leading researchers, engineers, and cryptographers to develop privacy features at the protocol level of the Ethereum network.
The group will collaborate with the Privacy and Scalability Exploration (PSE) team to introduce tools such as private payments, confidential identity systems, and zero-knowledge infrastructure, aimed at protecting user data directly on Ethereum's layer one blockchain.
The Privacy Cluster includes several initiatives from the Ethereum Foundation and PSE, with Kohaku being one of them. Other notable projects include private read/write, private proofs, and private identities.
