Stealth Addresses 2.0: Hiding the Recipient

Imagine sending money — without anyone ever knowing it was you. No public address exposed. No transaction history to follow. No breadcrumbs to trace.

That’s what Stealth Addresses 2.0 deliver.

In most blockchains, sending funds means leaving a public record. Wallet addresses are permanent. Every transaction adds another piece to the puzzle — one that anyone, anywhere, can piece together. Over time, even small payments build up into a detailed financial portrait: how much you received, when you received it, and from whom.

Stealth Addresses flip that model.

Instead of reusing a static address, Xcoin creates a brand-new, untraceable address for every single payment — generated by the sender, on behalf of the recipient. That address can only be unlocked by the intended recipient, using their private key. To everyone else, it’s just random data on the blockchain.

No reuse. No repetition. No linkage.

And with Stealth Addresses 2.0, this process isn’t just private — it’s quantum-secure. Every address is generated using post-quantum, hash-based cryptography (like WOTS+), making it resilient even against future threats from quantum computers.

What Makes This Different?

  • The receiver does nothing.
    There’s no setup, no manual interaction. The sender uses the recipient’s stealth public key to generate a one-time destination address behind the scenes.
  • The real wallet is never exposed.
    Not on-chain. Not in metadata. Not anywhere. The transaction contains no link to the recipient’s identity or wallet.
  • Even multiple payments to the same person appear unrelated.
    Each payment uses a completely separate address — even if they’re minutes apart.
  • It’s not optional.
    Xcoin doesn’t ask users to opt in. This privacy layer is always on. Every transaction, every time.
  • It’s quantum-safe by design.
    Unlike traditional elliptic-curve based stealth addresses, Stealth 2.0 uses hash-based cryptography that can’t be broken — even by the supercomputers of tomorrow.

Why Does It Matter?

Because in the end, privacy comes down to control — who has it, and over what. If someone knows every time you get paid, they can learn too much: how much you earn, what your job is, when you're most active, even how often you receive support or donations. In the wrong hands, that information becomes a weapon — used to profile, target, or exploit.

Stealth Addresses 2.0 defend against all of that. They don’t just obscure your income — they erase the concept of income visibility altogether. As far as the outside world is concerned, your wallet never received anything at all.

Even blockchain analysts and surveillance firms hit a dead end. There’s no address to track. No graph to map. No dots to connect.

Total recipient anonymity — built in.

With Xcoin, this advanced level of recipient privacy is baked into every payment. It’s not a tool you turn on — it’s the default reality of the network.

In a world where surveillance has become standard, Stealth Addresses 2.0 make sure one thing remains yours — who you are.
