Yes and no. CoinDesk can associate identities with wallets when users create accounts on coindesk.com and connect their wallet.
We will not use this data for anything other than authenticating users when they sign on or distributing DESK rewards, we will never sell it, and we will protect user information assiduously. (See our privacy policy.)
DESK transactions will appear on the DESK page on the Polyscan block explorer, but only the wallet addresses will be displayed.
