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 the Ethereum transaction supply

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.

Malicious Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) is when bots exploit your pending transaction for profit, often using tactics like jumping ahead of your trade

Malicious MEV has been a problem on Ethereum for years. Traders get sandwiched. NFT mints get front run. Transactions get censored in real-time. All of these issues come from the same root cause - by default your transaction sits visible in the public mempool before it gets included in a

We're excited to announce that Shutter and Primev are partnering to bring the first threshold encrypted mempool to Ethereum's out-of-protocol transaction supply chain, PBS (Proposer-Builder Separation). This integration targets the long standing issue of front running, sandwich attacks, and real-time censorship across the PBS pathway, which

What if you could confidently just vote from your phone? Imagine having no lines or polling stations. Your vote goes in fully secure and your choice remains absolutely secret. There aren’t any ballot counters because even the government isn’t allowed to see for whom you voted. However, anyone,

Today we’re excited to share The State of Private Voting 2026, a report prepared by the Shutter and Privacy Stewards of Ethereum (PSE) teams. The report provides a comprehensive look at the current landscape of private voting protocols on Ethereum. The report introduces a structured evaluation framework for assessing

Shutter API is Getting Smarter If you’ve been following our work, you already know what Shutter API is all about - bringing fairness, privacy, and trust-minimization to dApps through commit-reveal threshold encryption. In simple terms, it lets dApps keep sensitive data - like votes, bids, or game moves -
