Sessions
For widespread adoption, cryptocurrencies must be used regularly for everyday transactions. Litewallet, the only Litecoin mobile wallet, plays a pivotal role in this ecosystem by providing a accessible platform for users to make daily purchases or transfers, and generally manage their LTC. In 2022, the Litecoin network activated a critical feature with the introduction of the MimbleWimble Extension Block (MWEB). MWEB gives users the option to obfuscate the value of a transaction to only the recipient. This lets users choose what level of privacy they want for their transactions. This study leverages usage analytics on Newborn, the Litewallet Alpha testbed where MWEB is an option, empirical network data from a live site and ~2 years of historical data. This paper aims to provide a detailed account of these efforts and draw some interest if not modest conclusions in these early stages of MWEB deployment.
