Ethereum Builds Privacy Defense Against Digital Surveillance Threats

The Ethereum Foundation launches the ‘Privacy Cluster’, a dedicated team of 47 experts focused on enhancing blockchain network privacy. This initiative, driven by rising concerns about digital surveillance and user data protection, aims to integrate privacy features directly into the Ethereum layer 1 protocol. The cluster will develop solutions like private payments, anonymous decentralized identities, and zero-knowledge infrastructure, ultimately protecting users in an increasingly surveilled world.
