Definition ∞ Stealth addresses are a cryptographic technique that allows for the creation of unique, one-time addresses for receiving cryptocurrency. This method enhances transaction privacy by ensuring that the recipient’s address is not publicly visible on the blockchain. It is a key feature for users prioritizing anonymity.
Context ∞ The integration and utilization of stealth addresses are central to privacy-focused cryptocurrencies and protocols. Discussions often revolve around their technical implementation, the computational overhead they introduce, and their effectiveness in obscuring transaction origins. The balance between robust privacy features and the potential for misuse remains a persistent topic of consideration.
