Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said he now processes a significant portion of his payments through privacy protocols using kohaku-cli, a command-line wallet, rather than web-based wallets, citing concerns over repeatedly downloading code from websites. In an October 31 blog post titled "Digital minimalism," Buterin clarified that the tool handles a substantial share—not all—of his privacy-protocol transactions. Kohaku-cli is a locally-run command-line wallet that moves funds between public Ethereum (ETH) accounts and privacy-protocol balances. The shift matters because it signals a prominent endorsement of locally-executed, code-verifiable wallets over browser-based alternatives at a time when supply-chain and front-end security risks in crypto payments are under scrutiny. Watch for adoption of kohaku-cli among privacy-focused users and further development of Ethereum's privacy tooling ecosystem.
