We're proud to join the new Encrypt the Mempool! Coalition, a community effort to protect Ethereum users from front running, sandwich attacks, and real-time censorship. Together with Ethereum client teams, developers and researchers, infrastructure teams, wallets, and community members, we are pushing for one clear goal: Encrypt

Authors: Jannik Luhn, Luis Bezzenberger The most valuable agents will not be just personal. They will be shared. The dominant frame for AI agents today is the personal assistant: one user, one model, one set of preferences, one calendar to manage. This frame is too narrow.  Most of the friction

Aaaaaaand, we’re back with another round of Shutter Champions! Melee 2 is focused on holistic visions for advancing Shutter Network and onboarding new participants to Shutter DAO 0x36 governance. It introduces significant changes regarding slate creation and slate voting. Please read this whole blog article thoroughly and post any

Ethereum governance experiments have produced an incredible variety of coordination mechanisms: project/token DAOs, Moloch DAOs, Nouns DAOs, retroactive public goods funding, quadratic funding, and more. Yet many of these models share the same structural weaknesses (speculation, finite runways, and governance fatigue) often resulting in reflexive collapse. What if we

The arena is open. We’re excited to launch Shutter Champions, a new ecosystem growth program funded by Shutter DAO 0x36. It’s designed to support people contributing to the Shutter ecosystem - researchers, builders, dApp developers, and creators - with funding, support, and marketing. Shutter Champions is powered by Shutter DAO

The Shutter DAO 0x36 has deployed $1.2M USDC from its treasury into Octant vaults to fund ecosystem growth. The deployment was approved through an onchain vote by Shutter DAO 0x36. The capital is allocated into an Octant v2 ERC-4626 vault, using Morpho’s Steakhouse USDC strategy. The yield

The EIP-8105 team is throwing their full support behind LUCID as a Hegotá headliner. (We are keeping EIP-8105 open for feedback and questions, but we are no longer proposing EIP-8105 as a Hegotá headliner.) We believe the problems of malicious MEV, real-time censorship, and centralization in

Shutter has taken the Protocol Guild 1% Pledge, following an onchain vote by Shutter DAO 0x36 to allocate 1% of the SHU token supply to support the people who maintain Ethereum’s core protocol. The tokens will vest over four years through Protocol Guild’s mechanism and go directly to

To maximize Ethereum’s neutrality, we propose that the Hegotá upgrade includes both FOCIL and encrypted mempools. This would complete the Holy Trinity of Censorship Resistance, achieving system-level defense against transaction censorship.
