Buterin adopts CLI tool for private Ethereum payments

Community Trust Score Verified 82 % Real Verified 28 votes Updated 5 minutes ago Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin revealed in an October 31 essay that he employs the kohaku-cli command-line tool for private payments and a separate AI-written tool for ENS IPFS content-hash updates. Buterin distinguishes the two: the payment wallet manages privacy protocol transactions, while the ENS updater handles naming system records. Buterin shifted away from web interfaces to retain control over the software executing his transactions. He noted that websites deliver application code from servers, making users dependent on the specific revision provided at access.
