Shielded Bitcoin wallet recovery.

The 32 byte “seed phrase” (mnemonic) is enough to recover the wallet, without additional client side data.

This makes it different from ShieldedCSV.

The chart shows how many bytes of data must go on chain to make this happen.

I’m really happy to finally share Shielded Bitcoin!

We’ve been exploring how to make transfers private while keeping Bitcoin exactly as it is today. No soft fork. No separate blockchain. No trusted operators or dedicated sequencers.
