Monero Community Refutes Chainalysis Claims on Transaction Traceability

According to Odaily, members of the Monero community have dismissed claims by Chainalysis regarding the traceability of Monero transactions. Csilla Brimer, a leader within the Monero community, stated that Chainalysis tracks IP addresses connected to their Monero nodes, which they refer to as 'fake proxy nodes.' Brimer emphasized that protecting IP addresses is crucial to prevent tracking, advising users to avoid connecting to these nodes or to use Tor for enhanced privacy and security. Previously, a leaked Chainalysis presentation to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service claimed that the blockchain analysis company has been able to trace Monero transactions since 2021. However, Chainalysis has not publicly commented on the video.
