If the information I read is right, Komodo is a fork of ZCash with some adaptions. Right?
If yes, what is the use case of Jumbler then? ZCash is anyonmous in its nature why do we need a tool like Jumblr when transactions are anonymous?
I am sure there is a case why but I do not understand it. Would be nice if someone could explain. Thanks!
transparent mode is what is used for the most part and that isnt anonymous. To do all transactions in zeroknowledge is both slow and leads to blockchain bloat.
What is needed is a way to go from a transparent address to another transparent address that has no linkage to it (direct, indirect or statistical).
To do that, a system like JUMBLR is needed. It creates an emergent behavior that is enhanced privacy out of the relatively simple actions of each node. So while each node is essentially doing transactions with themselves and never giving up control of their coins, the sum effect is that all participants are tumbling their coins with each other.
To break the linkage you need to do a t-> z transaction, followed by a z -> z (this breaks the linkages) and of course a final z -> t so you can get the funds into a transparent address.
