An inherent feature of blockchain tech is that transfers of cryptocurrency through the computer networks are majorly visible to everyone having internet access, which makes it easy to monitor and track wallet addresses and locations and sometimes it traces those locations back to identifiable entities.
Litecoin relies on a technology known as MimbleWimble which reduces the amount of data that is visible on the main blockchain network, and through the use of extension blocks, it helps in hiding the outputs and inputs.
