BIP 352 proposed reusable silent-payment addresses
BIP 352 describes a scheme for publishing a static address-like code while deriving unique on-chain outputs for incoming payments.

It shows how Bitcoin privacy proposals often combine new scanning responsibilities with a simpler experience for the payer.
The proposal’s deployment status and wallet support must be checked; a specification alone does not mean the feature is universally usable.
