Monero community members have refuted Chainalysis' claims that Monero transactions can be traced. According to Monero community leader Csilla Brimer, Chainalysis tracks the IP addresses connected to these nodes by setting up its own Monero nodes, calling these nodes "fake proxy nodes". Brimer stressed that protecting IP addresses is key to preventing tracing, and users can ensure privacy by avoiding connecting to these nodes or using Tor. A previous Chainalysis PowerPoint leaked to the IRS revealed that the blockchain analytics firm claims to be able to track Monero transactions since 2021. However, Chainalysis has not commented publicly on the video.
