Long View on Privacy
summary
Coinbase lays out concrete technical and policy tradeoffs: BASE L2 gets treated as the testbed while teams run data discovery solutions and smart-contract audits to flag on‑chain PII (wallet addresses, IPs, device IDs) and to enforce retention and deletion constraints where possible. Short‑term work focuses on user education and attestations; medium/long term options include stealth addresses at the wallet layer, shielded transactions at the protocol layer, or scoped dApp privacy — each costing interoperability, complexity, or centralization.
