Ethereum’s next frontier: privacy as a core feature. The Foundation rolled out its “Privacy Stewards for Ethereum” roadmap. It aims for private transfers (via PlasmaFold L2), confidential voting, ZK-based identity, and even workarounds for RPC data leaks. Privacy has always been part of crypto’s ethos. Now it’s becoming protocol-level infrastructure. If Ethereum succeeds, will privacy finally move from “optional tool” to default expectation in Web3?
