Privacy Method being used

"Currently, Incognito allows users to anonymize their ether by creating a shielded “copy” of it on the sidechain using zero-knowledge proofs and locking the corresponding amount of the “original” tokens on Ethereum. After that, all transactions that involve shielded ether—so-called pETH—will be executed on Incognito and become fully anonymous.

Simultaneously, pETH always have the same value and can be used just as normal ether. Users can send shielded tokens to other Incognito wallet addresses or to “normal” Ethereum balances—in this case, pETH will be unshielded before arriving on regular ETH wallets.

To achieve this, when tokens become deanonymized, a specified amount of pETH is burned on Incognito while an equal amount of ETH unlocks on Ethereum. The sidechain will hide all internal transactions and only deposits and withdrawals to and from Incognito’s smart contract will be publicly visible."

Roadmap

  • From Decrypt 24-4-2020:

"Will soon expand its functionality to decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, starting with Kyber Network’s mainnet in May. After launching on Kyber, the platform also plans to gradually roll out support for DeFi platforms including 0x, Uniswap and Compound.  The resulting shielded tokens will be dubbed pKyber, p0x, pCompound and pUniswap, respectively."

This process is planned to be done by the 15th of July.
