The RAILGUN privacy set is now over $100 million total value shielded & $3.5 billion in private volume.
Around $2.5 billion of that volume occurred in the last 18 months.
The more value is privatized through RAILGUN, the stronger the privacy set is for all users.
RAILGUN: A smart contract system that allows users to make invisible, trustless transfers; and allows users to interact with any DeFi apps without revealing their Ethereum address, strategies, or balances.
Even if you hold stablecoins or tokens on a public ledger, you as a RAILGUN user, do not have to give up your own personal data.
RAILGUN makes most ERC-20s shieldable, a power up that's particularly effective when the rest of the ledger is public.
RAILGUN has now hit $4 billion in total shielded volume since inception in 2021.
Approximately $1.6 billion of that volume has come in 2025 alone.
More volume means a more robust privacy set which leads to support for more shielded volume.
Vitalik Buterin today mentioned RAILGUN as an example of a privacy protocol people could use on Ethereum.
In fact, RAILGUN is a deployed example of a system @VitalikButerin also theorized with his Privacy Pools paper.
All ETH bigbrains value privacy. Thanks for Ethereum, VB. 😎👏
Privacy is normal. Privacy is required for professionals. Nobody should see your medical bills. No one should see your payments to the family lawyer for advice.
This is both law & morality.
Now is the time to voice your support for privacy tools for honest civilians. BE LOUD
Privacy is reflexive.
RAILGUN has over $3.7 billion of private volume.
This makes it feasible to privatize large transactions. Which makes it feasible to privatize even larger transactions, and so on.
Do you get it yet? The more that RAILGUN is used, the more private it is.
Whilst RAILGUN is permissionless and anyone can send tokens in, any tokens that fail to generate a Private POI proof CANNOT enter the privacy set.
In this case, the tokens @zachxbt mentioned were unshielded back to the original address and gained no privacy.
