The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has announced the formation of a new group of 47 researchers, engineers, and cryptographers who will work together to make Ethereum’s Layer 1 infrastructure safer and more private.
According to analysts, this change in structure is a show of the institution’s seriousness about adding privacy features directly to the Ethereum ecosystem, moving it from a side project to a main development priority.
Expanding Ethereum’s Privacy Framework
In an October 8 blog post, EF noted that the “Privacy Cluster” integrates multiple ongoing projects under one umbrella, including long-running efforts by the Privacy & Scaling Explorations (PSE) team.
PSE’s portfolio already includes more than 50 open-source research projects, such as Semaphore for anonymous signaling, MACI for private voting, zkEmail for secure communications, and TLSNotary for verifiable web interactions.
Igor Barinov will be in charge of the new cluster, and Andy Guzman will still be in char
