The 
Ethereum Foundation is deepening its long-term commitment to privacy with the launch of a new Privacy Cluster — an integrated initiative combining applied research, product development, and institutional coordination to make privacy a core feature of Ethereum’s infrastructure.
What’s the Scoop?
- Privacy for Everyone: Ethereum’s privacy vision spans individuals, developers, institutions, and society. For individuals, privacy protects dignity and agency online; for developers, it expands design space and reduces liability; for institutions, it enables secure, compliant use of public blockchains; and for society, it safeguards open systems and democratic trust.
- New Cluster: The Privacy Cluster unites more than 47 researchers, engineers, and cryptographers working across the ecosystem. The PSE team will continue to focus on research and early experimentation under Andy Guzman’s leadership, while Igor Barinov will coordinate broader privacy efforts across Ethereum.
- Growing Initiatives: The cluster includes major projects such as Private Reads & Writes, Private Proving, and Private Identities, alongside new efforts like Kohaku — a privacy-preserving wallet SDK — and the Institutional Privacy Task Force, which translates regulatory and operational needs into privacy standards for enterprises.
- Community collaboration: The EF emphasizes that privacy innovation is a collective effort, complementing hundreds of ecosystem projects and the 700+ teams already working on privacy-focused infrastructure and applications.
The Ethereum Foundation is committed to working alongside the ecosystem to make privacy a priority.
