Building @FoglightPrivacy https://t.co/cTba2QMwgE

Kohaku, the gateway to Ethereum privacy, is coming soon to a wallet near you.

Zcash pumped and now Near, Venice, Railgun, et al. are in a race to build the mostly widely adopted privacy tools and protocols. For a moment really enjoy this return to cypherpunk roots, it’s nice to actually be rooting for everybody for once

Please take 1 minute and watch this clip from Andreas Antonopoulos at ETHDenver 2019 The exact moment Andreas is warning about, where moloch tries to turn Ethereum into corposlop, is here We need the courage to resist it

Today we’re sharing difficult news: we have made the decision to wind down Everclear (Foundation / Labs and building the product).

step 1) use crypto to buy something step 2) your entire financial history is now known by everyone forever seems like a problem!



Many people have claimed that with AI-assisted bug finding, secure code (and hence trustless anything) will be impossible. I have a much more optimistic take, and AI-assisted formal verification is a major part of the reason why: vitalik.eth.limo/general/2026/0…




3/ The #1 technical problem: cost & performance of ZK proving and verification. Verifying a Groth16 proof for a private transfer ≈ several hundred thousand gas. Proof generation is too slow client-side too, especially on mobile. Sub-second proving was cited as the threshold for it to stop being a problem.
