The vote green-lights client-side scanning of encrypted chats on platforms from Signal to WhatsApp, with critics warning it breaks end-to-end privacy for 450M Europeans.
KOSA and EU Chat Control both retreated on their loudest provisions this week, but the quiet one that survived, mandatory age checks, hands every platform an identity-collection mandate masquerading…
If Project Tachyon's verification lands, it would close the trust gap opened by June's Orchard disclosure, which wiped over 40% off ZEC in two days.
The Ethereum co-founder posed a public test for AI to break online anonymity; two weeks on, nobody has cracked it, a quiet signal that pseudonymous identity still holds against machine-scale pattern…
If shipped in Hegotá, EIP-8182 would bake optional, protocol-fee-free private ETH and ERC-20 transfers into the L1 — a structural break from the mixer-era status quo.
The new EIP drops balanceOf and allowance entirely and routes transfers through ZK notes — a clean break from ERC-20 that recasts privacy as the default rather than an add-on.
Two competing visions are surfacing in parallel: pERC-20 keeps token transfers private while preserving supply transparency, and Starknet's STRK20 pushes confidentiality into DeFi itself.
Zcash is moving forward with its Ironwood network upgrade, with the development team finalizing the activation plan and…
Buterin's privacy warning, echoed from a Zcash founder's framing, is the clearest signal yet that Ethereum's research community sees on-chain transparency as an active liability, not just a…
The recovery is sharp, but ZEC is still down 22% on the week — and the real test is whether the new pool exposes or strands the counterfeit supply.
Privacy-by-default with selective disclosure to auditors is the missing piece between on-chain settlement and treasury workflows that demand confidentiality.
Hayes is the loudest voice in crypto calling out Zcash's trust model — his exit is the first time a major figure has priced in a privacy exploit as a deal-breaker rather than a bug.
The scare that knocked block explorers offline was actually a coordinated emergency soft fork plus the NU6.2 hard fork to patch a soundness bug in Orchard's zero‑knowledge circuit — and ZEC was the…
Aztec Labs has acquired ZKPassport, the zero-knowledge identity protocol that lets users prove passport-based…
Roughly $97B of tokens unlocked publicly in 2025 — the Streamflow integration routes those distributions through Umbra's confidential pool, turning a structural information leak into an opt-in…
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has made Zcash his second-largest portfolio holding, citing the accelerating convergence…
Telegram founder Pavel Durov has publicly stated that the platform has "never disclosed a single byte" of private…
Grayscale Chairman Barry Silbert declared on Tuesday that the "privacy" era in crypto has officially begun — a signal…
Three short-term protocol moves — AA + FOCIL, keyed nonces, and Kohaku-style access-layer work — frame a privacy thesis that runs deeper than mixers or app-layer add-ons.
A $9B network with almost no real DeFi volume is asking holders to ratify a protocol upgrade — the vote itself is the test of whether governance can move faster than the ecosystem has been growing.
