This is a general term for onchain privacy protocols.

CoinJoin is a type of bitcoin transaction with multiple participants, intended to mix the users' funds together and thus improve their privacy. Samurai's Whirlpool and StoneWallX2 are implementations of CoinJoin, but this seems like one created by Wasabi wallet 2.0.

Yep wasabi

how do you distinguish between the different coinjoins?
reply
Whirlpool has five inputs and outputs, all of roughly the same amount. StoneWall, StoneWallX2, and Darkwallet have four outputs, two of which share the same amount. Wasabi wallet 1.0 has ~100 inputs and and slightly more outputs, with most of being standard denominations. Wasabi wallet 2.0 CoinJoins have ~300 inputs and outputs with no standard denominations. JoinMarket CoinJoins usually have 15-40 inputs and outputs, with most of the outputs sharing the same amount.
