Railgun hits record $4bn in volume as privacy demand surges

Railgun has processed over $1.6 billion in shielded transactions this year, bringing its total volume to $4 billion since launching in 2021. This marks a major achievement and highlights growing interest in privacy-enhancing tools within decentralized finance.

The milestone comes as the Ethereum Foundation increases its focus on privacy, introducing Kohaku, a new toolkit that integrates Railgun directly into Ethereum’s wallet infrastructure. The announcement helped drive a sharp rise in the RAIL token, reflecting renewed confidence in the project’s long-term potential.

With support from Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and the upcoming release of a multi-signature privacy wallet prototype, Railgun appears well positioned to benefit from the broader movement to make privacy a standard feature across blockchain networks.
