Building cool tech

everywhere
Joined September 2021
This year's @EFDevcon has seen lots of discussion on compliance and misuse of privacy systems. It's a topic we've also spent a lot of time thinking about at @Blanksquare_io -- today we compiled our idea into this post on EM: ethereum-magicians.org/t/shi… The proposal may be controversial since it's based on non-voluntary reveal, thus we’d like to hear as much honest feedback as possible to learn how people feel about it. Especially asking builders in the EVM privacy space: @ameensol @VitalikButerin @Zac_Aztec @bobbinth @kassandraETH @tsu_kareta @wslyvh @bezzenberger @thomphreys Thank you all!

Silent Transfers powered by ZK proofs are live on HyperEVM! 🌸 Enjoy real privacy by sending tokens to another wallet without the link between sender and recipient on-chain. Done in collaboration with @Blanksquare_io. How does it work ⤵️

Privacy made easy – now for @ethereum! We have just launched the web app on Ethereum, so you can shield ETH and other ERC-20 tokens. Fast and without headaches. Here's what you can do with it already and what's next.

had a great convo with Aaron about the state of privacy in crypto (spoiler: it's not great at all) and what I think it'll take to bring privacy to regular people: youtube.com/watch?v=xp_WHG0v…

men don't go to therapy they build viral consumer AI apps, distribute them at $1 CPM via 100+ gen z student creators, scale to $50k MRR, start posting about it on X all to end up selling a course to save other men from going to therapy

One of the underrated metrics in crypto is clicks-to-privacy. The team that gets this number closest to one wins the adoption race.

Privacy has pmf for nearly all meaningful financial use cases If your credit card transactions were public you’d never use it Privacy hasn’t shown pmf in early onchain crypto degeneracy Completely different If you think serious stuff comes onchain, then privacy matters
Replying to @mert @mattytay
There is lack of pmf for privacy. In of itself it’s not a killer feature that would change user behavior.

I see both camps: "We’re cool because we use MPC/TEE/FHE." "We’re cool because we use ZK instead of MPC/TEE/FHE." My take: nobody should care. What matters is delivering products that work and meet security standards. The tech stack is secondary.
