What is Cardano's 'Ouroboros Crypsinous'?

Ouroboros Crypsinous is a privacy-preserving variant of Cardano's Ouroboros consensus protocol. It combines the energy efficiency of proof-of-stake with the privacy features of zero-knowledge proofs. While not currently implemented in Cardano, Crypsinous represents ongoing research into enhancing privacy on proof-of-stake blockchains without compromising their fundamental security properties.
