Wasabi Wallet, Whirlpool and JoinMarket: operational models, decentralization, costs, usability and waiting times to increase the privacy of your UTXOs.
CoinJoin is a trustless technique for Bitcoin users who want to improve the privacy of their UTXO. It is a methodology that allows multiple users to combine their UTXO into a single transaction, breaking the deterministic links between old UTXO and new ones. The concept of coinjoin was first proposed in 2013 by developer Gregory Maxwell. Among the main solutions currently available are Wasabi Wallet, Whirlpool (relaunched by Ashigaru) and JoinMarket. Although all implement the CoinJoin protocol, each adopts a different approach in terms of operational model, decentralization, costs and ease of use.
