Wallet Anonymity Analysis
Analyzing on-chain wallet fingerprints...
About This Analysis
This page examines how Zcash wallet implementations differ in their on-chain behavior. Even within the shielded pool, wallets leave distinct fingerprints through fee strategies, expiry heights, nLockTime values, and action padding patterns. Understanding these signals helps users evaluate their own anonymity set size and choose wallets that maximize privacy.
Fee lane analysis is based on ZIP-317, which defines a standard fee of 5,000 zatoshis per logical action. Transactions paying exactly this rate blend into the largest anonymity set. Non-standard fees — whether higher or lower — reduce the set of transactions you could be confused with.
