Core Concepts
Privacy Score
A soulbound, non-transferable hygiene score reflecting your wallet's address reuse patterns, approval hygiene, and consistency of privacy-preserving behavior.
Each user wallet accumulates a Privacy Score — a numerical representation of the wallet's on-chain privacy hygiene. The score reflects address reuse patterns, doxx exposure, approval hygiene, and the consistency of privacy-preserving behavior across all supported chains.
Why a soulbound score matters
The Privacy Score is non-transferable and bound to your wallet. This creates a portable pseudonymous reputation that you can carry across applications — proving you are a high-quality, privacy-conscious actor without ever revealing your legal name, balance, or full transaction history.
Applications can gate on minimum scores — for example, a DAO might require Score ≥ 60 for governance participation, while a DeFi protocol might offer better rates to high-score wallets. This creates a market for privacy-preserving behavior, aligning individual incentives with network-wide privacy improvements.
Improving your score
- Use fresh stealth addresses for recurring counterparties (prevents address reuse penalties).
- Revoke unnecessary token approvals regularly.
- Route sensitive transactions through AnonProof modes (Level 3 or above).
- Avoid direct transfers from KYC'd exchange addresses to public smart contracts.
- Run the Doxx Scanner quarterly to identify and remediate exposure.
Details
AnonProof's privacy score integrates directly with your existing wallet infrastructure. No migration is required — the privacy layer operates transparently on top of MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet, or any standard EVM wallet. See the Integration section for setup guides.
