After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵(1/5)
privacy is coming to the wallet layer not as a clunky add-on, but as a default @staycloakedxyz is leading the way, more will follow
this was the most important slide from EthCC for me. privacy as a feature is a bad smell. wallets treating it as optional will start feeling buggy to users, the same way a bank with a laissez-faire approach to privacy would feel broken. you would switch banks in the morning. but wallets that also treat it as the defining feature of their wallet historically end up alienating users with bad UX. the window for treating privacy as optional is already closing. wallets not quietly baking it in are already behind
2026 is the year wallets natively integrate Ethereums privacy stack. But how? We know how important UX is and making the user work hard for privacy is an anti-pattern. We must strive to give users familiar flows and make privacy invisible where we can. Leaning on crypto native terms like “shield”, “pool” and “encrypt” is lazy. That’s why with @staycloakedxyz we are trying to abstract the complicated stuff. Crypto users love to swap. So we are thinking privacy looks like a swap. Simply covert your public ETH to Incognito ETH. It looks and feels like a swap, but under the hood we are integrating the best privacy primitives Ethereum has to offer.

NEW: More than 500 members of the British armed forces stationed at the UK's most sensitive military sites have exposed their location data and personal details on Strava this year. Staff at the British Army HQ in Northwood, a surveillance and intelligence facility in North Yorkshire, and overseas bases involved in the Iran war are exposed. At the home of the UK’s nuclear deterrent in Faslane 110 people have posted runs inside restricted areas this year, revealing submariners and their families. One running route at the base helped reveal the exact nuclear submarine an official was deployed onto. A senior military source said the findings presented a major security risk, and amounted to “damn good intelligence for the enemy”. inews.co.uk/news/hundreds-…
