The Ethereum Foundation has released an end-to-end privacy roadmap, aiming to build comprehensive privacy protection for the world's second-largest blockchain. The former "Privacy and Scaling Exploration Team" has been renamed "Privacy Stewards of Ethereum" (PSE), shifting its focus from speculative exploration to solving practical problems and optimizing ecosystem outcomes. The roadmap focuses on three key areas: privacy writes, making on-chain private operations as efficient as public operations; privacy reads, enabling access to blockchain data without revealing identity and intent; and privacy proofs, ensuring fast and secure generation and verification. The team is developing PlasmaFold, an experimental L2 design, which is scheduled to debut at the Devconnect conference in Argentina on November 17th, and will also advance privacy RPC services. Additionally, the team will release a report titled "The State of Privacy Voting in 2025" and explore DeFi protocols and privacy computing projects that balance privacy and compliance. (The Block)
