What is a Privacy Proxy?

Similar to a VPN, BlockWallet protects your IP address and other data on-chain.

When you interact with a DApp or send a transaction, a wallet sends an RPC call to a blockchain node - a request to execute the transaction. This request contains not only the information required to successfully execute the transaction but also personal data, such as your IP address, browser version, and more.

BlockWallet Privacy Proxies intercept this request and trim any sensitive information that could potentially allow a node provider to link a wallet address to your identity.

Here's a graphic of how other wallets interact with node providers and how BlockWallet does it.
