Spiral Bitcoin Wizard and longtime Bitcoin privacy developer Yuval Kogman joins Payjoin Foundation as the first Advisory Board member. He draws on more than two decades of programming experience. Few others can boast Yuval's dedication to the Bitcoin privacy niche. He is perhaps best known for his work developing the WabiSabi DoS prevention protocol. His subsequent whistleblowing of privacy vulnerabilities in CoinJoin implementations, including those touting WabiSabi integration, demonstrates his commitment to the underlying principles.

Commercial attempts to solve Bitcoin’s privacy problems have faced tremendous barriers. Short-term profit motives have delivered partial and temporary solutions, but transacting privately on Bitcoin remains a challenge.

We formed Payjoin Foundation to pursue the long-term mission of addressing Bitcoin’s privacy problems. Our non-profit exists to develop open-source protocols that align economic incentives with network-wide privacy protection. We believe that users have a right to choose whether or not to reveal their on-chain activity, and that such protocols can even offer a more convenient and delightful experience than those that don't respect this choice.
