## Summary

A field guide, "How to Disappear on Ethereum," explains what other people can learn about Ethereum users, where that information leaks, and which tools protect users and what they do not. The text states that Ethereum transactions are public and that wallets share a user's address and location with servers each time they open. The guide is a first edition printed for EF Devcon, with copies handed out at a private event in Mumbai this week, and details were promised for the following day.

## Article

Using Ethereum leaves a trail. 

Your transactions are public, and your wallet shares your address and location with servers every time you open it.

Most people have no idea how much that adds up to.

So we wrote a field guide for anyone who uses Ethereum and wants to understand their privacy.

How to D̶i̶s̶a̶p̶p̶e̶a̶r̶ on Ethereum explains, in plain language:

What other people can learn about you
Where that information leaks
Which tools protect you, and what they don’t

You don’t need to be technical to read it.

It’s a first edition, printed for .@EFDevcon. We’re handing out copies at our private event in Mumbai this week. Details tomorrow.
