Researchers proposed Shielded Bitcoin, a privacy layer for Bitcoin enabling shielded transactions without altering the network's consensus rules or requiring a soft fork. It uses a unique transaction format and indexing system, with independent indexers verifying transactions off-chain to maintain privacy and balance tracking. This approach aims for privacy levels similar to Zcash's shielded pool while relying solely on the blockchain and indexing rules, without needing service providers or coordinators. Users would need both a Bitcoin node and a Shielded Bitcoin indexer to recover funds, creating a separate accounting layer on top of Bitcoin's existing system.
