Ethereum Foundation strengthens 'privacy protection'… announces short-term roadmap

The Ethereum Foundation is strengthening the privacy protection features of its blockchain network.

The Ethereum Privacy Steward (PSE), a privacy-focused organization under the Ethereum Foundation, announced on the 13th (local time) a short-term roadmap to enhance the privacy protection features of the Ethereum network. The roadmap aims to provide improved privacy protection solutions for the Ethereum ecosystem. PSE stated, "Ethereum is becoming a global payments platform, but without strong privacy it risks becoming a hub of surveillance rather than freedom," adding, "A system without privacy would undermine the reason for Ethereum's existence."

The roadmap includes measures to introduce new features such as private governance, confidential DeFi, client proofs, and privacy experience (DX). PSE described the roadmap as "the highest-priority initiatives" and said, "We plan to start or continue execution over the next 3 to 6 months."

The organization also emphasized its vision. PSE said, "Our vision is to make privacy protection the standard on Ethereum, not the exception," and added, "(PSE's) privacy protection solutions will be widely adopted through core use cases."

Meanwhile, as of 9:50 a.m. that day, Ethereum was trading at 4666.65 dollars on CoinMarketCap. This represents a 0.76% decline from the previous day.
