MimbleWimble Extension Blocks: Privacy Without Compromise
NewYorkCoin is preparing to integrate MimbleWimble Extension Blocks (MWEB) — the same privacy layer successfully deployed on Litecoin. MWEB enables confidential transactions and improved fungibility without altering the base layer or requiring a hard fork. Users will be able to opt into privacy on a per-transaction basis, while the public chain remains fully auditable. This post explains how MWEB works, what it means for NYC holders, and our implementation timeline.
