Ori Newman proposes KIP-22 draft to keep Kaspa public keys hidden

Kaspa node software maintainer Ori Newman has published the KIP-22 draft, proposing that wallets use script addresses to conceal public keys behind a short fingerprint until a spend occurs. The draft requires no network consensus changes and relies on existing script capabilities.

Why it matters for Kaspa

This proposal introduces a method for Kaspa users to protect public keys from future quantum computing threats without requiring core protocol upgrades, placing implementation squarely on wallet developers.
