Umbra is a privacy-preserving stealth payments protocol built for EVM blockchain networks, enabling transactions where only the sender and receiver know the recipient's identity. Umbra's Twitter Score is 45 out of 1000 as of October 2026, ranking #20,693 (top 5%) among 498,348 tracked accounts.
Umbra operates without mixing or zero-knowledge proofs, relying instead on standard elliptic curve cryptography to achieve on-chain privacy. The protocol is stewarded by ScopeLift and has received support from Gitcoin. A 2023 academic paper reported that Umbra had facilitated more than $155 million in cryptoasset transfers and had nearly 70,000 registered users across all deployed chains as of July 2023.
Umbra has been deployed across multiple networks including Ethereum mainnet, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism. The same 2023 academic analysis found that the real recipient could be identified in a substantial share of transactions on each of those networks, pointing to ongoing challenges in achieving consistent privacy guarantees across different chain environments. Umbra has published 365 posts on the platform and has been mentioned by 47 accounts, with 80 total mentions.
