Project overview

Details

Ethereum ecosystem lacks detailed & actual report covering all the projects contributing to Ethereum privacy stack. This creates missunderstanding & shallow view on the state of privacy in Ethereum - when people can name several hyped projects, but can't see a bigger "towards the full-stack privacy" picture.

Ethereum Privacy Ecosystem will structure activities around privacy covering:

project diversity: featuring not just well-known projects like Aztec, but newcomers like Nocturne

dev-friendly: analyze privacy-centric hackathons from ETHRome to ETHBerlin (events, projects)

innovation: emerging concepts from stealth-addresses to EIP-7503

tech breakdown: specify underliying tech/approaches from ZK to PP

funding: provide approach to privacy funding in Ethereum (sources from Gitcoin to VCs; practical examples from 2023)

challenges: map areas to be tackled by the next generation of devs on the way to Vitalik's cypherphunk vision (like Nocturne's privacy policy)
