Glamsterdam is Ethereum’s next big upgrade - and a chance to dramatically improve decentralization and censorship resistance. Shutter supports prioritizing EIP-7732 (ePBS) and EIP-7805 (FOCIL), with encrypted mempools and silent threshold encryption proposed as powerful future implementations.

DAO voters have long demanded permanent private voting. It’s now on Shutter’s roadmap. This post shares the architecture and a working POC showing how we’re extending threshold-encrypted voting with ElGamal-based homomorphic tallying - so votes are counted in the encrypted state and remain private.

Censorship resistance and decentralization are core to public blockchains, ensuring open, permissionless access. But in today’s world of bots, AI, and memecoin mania, these founding principles are too often forgotten.

Is iO the holy grail of blockchain privacy? This article looks at the limitations of indistinguishability obfuscation, what it could unlock, why it matters, and if it could be a true alternative to trusted hardware.
