Everything about Blockchain privacy

Privacy in blockchain systems

Blockchain privacy describes how blockchain systems handle the confidentiality of transaction and record data. Many public blockchains can provide pseudonymity, while ledger transparency can allow transaction tracing through analysis of on-chain activity and related information. The persistence of ledger data can also create data-protection challenges in some applications, including questions about erasure and rectification rights where personal data are involved, and privacy characteristics vary depending on system design and use case.
