Meanwhile, the Cashshuffle project has recently outlined the platform’s roadmap and accomplishments so far.

The Tokenshuffle Idea

Privacy is a pretty big deal to cryptocurrency proponents and it seems many developers and projects have been racing for the holy grail of digital currency anonymity. Members of the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) development community have been passionately working towards this goal. On Friday, Oct. 12, the programmer Chris Troutner published a concept called Tokenshuffle, an intended light wallet that utilizes two types of cryptocurrency mixing protocols. Troutner has published his gist on Github and explains that after some significant community review an open source application will be built.         

“Tokenshuffle is a protocol for anonymizing Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and improving its fungibility,” explains Troutner’s gist on Github. “This protocol is loosely based on the ideas in Coinjoin and Coinshuffle, and is intended to be implemented as a light-weight web app that people can anonymously interact with.”

Troutner adds:  

It leverages new token protocols built on top of Bitcoin Cash like Wormhole, though other token protocols could be used.
