Site Live transaction ticker on the Activity page

The Activity page now opens with a Live panel that lists privacy transactions as they reach six chains, read from the public nodes and block explorers named on the Sources page: Tornado Cash, Railgun and Privacy Pools on Ethereum, Monero, Zcash, Privacy Cash on Solana, Liquid and Aztec. It shows only what any public node sees, never an address, with amounts only for the fixed amounts of Tornado Cash pools and for fully transparent Zcash transactions; the list can be filtered by protocol and paused, and the events are kept for 7 days.

Site About page: corrections policy and licence

The About page now sets out the corrections policy: how entries are checked, how to send a correction with a source and how one is applied, with a note on the Changes page and in its feed, and a table of when each part of the data was last checked. It also gives the data licence (CC BY-NC 4.0) and the citation line, what the site does not do, and the terms of each upstream source as read on 16 October 2026.

More on About

Site Activity page

A new Activity page charts daily use beside the value locked: Monero and Zcash transactions, Railgun's private transactions and shields, Tornado Cash deposits, Privacy Pools deposits and withdrawals, and Privacy Cash and Aztec transactions.

Site Anonymity sets page

A new Anonymity sets page counts, once a day, the crowd each privacy pool hides a user among, read from the projects' own contracts and nodes: Tornado Cash deposits and unspent notes, note commitments in Railgun, Zcash and Privacy Cash, Privacy Pools deposits, and Monero's ring size and outputs. Every figure has its source and time, with a chart per measure and a note on what the counts do not show.

Site Bitcoin privacy section

The Protocols page has a new Bitcoin privacy section on 12 privacy tools for bitcoin itself, from the Liquid sidechain and coinjoin wallets to Silent Payments, PayJoin and Ark, each with its status, how it works, what free public data can measure and its sources, and a chart of Liquid's L-BTC supply against the federation's bitcoin reserves since 2018, updated daily. None of it counts in the private DeFi TVL.

Site Calendar page
