Monero submits code change to prevent circumvention of Tor/I2P transaction delays

Monero (XMR) developer has submitted a code change proposal, PR #11743, to the project's GitHub repository to reduce source-inference risk for transactions arriving via Tor and I2P by applying randomized delays to transactions received from anonymity networks and restricting how they are relayed to the public network. The pull request, opened on the 13th, remains open as of the 15th with "pending review" and "needs backport" labels, and no merge or release schedule has been set. Tor and I2P anonymize communication paths, but if a transaction appears on the public network immediately after entering through one of these routes, an observer watching both sides can correlate propagation timing and infer its origin. The proposal matters because timing correlation is a known privacy leak for Monero's anonymity guarantees, and the next thing to watch is reviewer feedback and whether the change is merged and backported.
