Ethereum developers are advancing the deployment of the ZK-based "Secret Santa" system.According to Mars Finance, reported by CoinDesk, Ethereum developers are refining a zero-knowledge protocol aimed at providing stronger privacy guarantees for on-chain interactions, starting with a matching system similar to a "Secret Santa" that is expected to evolve into a broader set of private collaboration tools. Solidity engineer Artem Chystiakov mentioned this research again in a post on the Ethereum community forum on Monday, noting his related work first published on arXiv in January this year. The concept aims to recreate an anonymous gift exchange game on Ethereum, where participants are randomly paired, and no one knows who is giving gifts to whom. However, achieving this on a transparent blockchain requires addressing several long-standing issues surrounding randomness, privacy, and resistance to Sybil attacks. Chystiakov stated that the core problem is quite simple.
