The problem with anonymity in Ethereum is it wont be available for all assets all the time. So while we might see sidechains and smart contracts that offer some degree of anonymity, the damage has been done. New research showed that zcash transactions are largely unshielded and linkable. While known for a long time by many, the research quantified the risk borne by users due to the opt-in nature of zcash’s privacy. There no such thing as absolute privacy; naturally the differing approaches of Monero and Zcash means that they are going down divergent paths. Of course, mandatory privacy seems like a no-brainer.
