Stealth Meta-Address Registry

Nerolation · February 9, 2023, 6:43am

Stealth Meta-Address Registry contract. The standardization of stealth address generation holds the potential to greatly enhance the privacy capabilities of Ethereum by enabling the recipient of a transfer to remain anonymous when receiving an asset. By introducing a central smart contract for users to store their stealth meta-addresses (consisting of a spending and a viewing public key), EOAs and contracts can programmatically engage in stealth interactions using a variety of stealth address scehemes.
This EIP builds upon EIP-5564 which lays a very minimalistic standard to standardize the usage of different stealth address schemes (e.g. elliptic curve-based, lattice-based, ect).
The following repo is used for development:

## Abstract

This specification defines a standardized way of storing and retrieving an entity's stealth meta-address, by extending [EIP-5564](./eip-5564.md).

## Motivation

The standardization of stealth address generation holds the potential to greatly enhance the privacy capabilities of Ethereum by enabling the recipient of a transfer to remain anonymous when receiving an asset. By introducing a central smart contract for users to store their stealth meta-addresseses, EOAs and contracts can programmatically engage in stealth interactions using a variety of stealth address scehemes.
