I was comparing MWCS (Mimblewimble + CoinSwap) with Monero. Quoting from https://forum.grin.mw/t/mimblewimble-coinswap-proposal

We present a coin shuffling proposal with the following properties:

Users submit self-spends throughout the day. No interaction needed for shuffling.

Shuffling is performed at the end of the day by a set of mixnodes that cannot steal any coins.

Invalid self-spends are automatically filtered out. No need to abort or restart the shuffling.

As long as at least one mixnode is honest, then no one learns the input output links.

The size of the shuffle is limited only by blocksize and could easily be over a thousand.

Each shuffle only grows the chainsize by a small constant (~100 byte per mixnode), thanks to MW cut-through.

Widespread use of the protocol would leave the transaction graph mostly obscured.
