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.
The design explores improved receiver privacy without requiring an interactive exchange for each payment.
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.
