These are the latest blog posts from July.
The First Beta Release of the Shutterized Gnosis Chain Is Now Live!
The Gnosis, Nethermind, and Shutter teams are thrilled to announce that encrypted transactions are live on the Gnosis Chain, marking the first mainnet implementation of Shutter's threshold encryption for transactions.
It's the second major Shutter use case to go live after Shielded Voting for Snapshot. This beta launch brings an encrypted mempool to the Gnosis Chain, protecting users from malicious Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) attacks and enhancing the security and neutrality of blockchain transactions.

Shutterized Gnosis Chain is Live!
We're excited to announce that the Shutterized Gnosis Chain is live, featuring an encrypted mempool by the Shutter Network.
The development of the Shutterized Gnosis Chain is a landmark achievement and major innovation for blockchain technology. Martin Köppelmann, Gnosis co-founder, played a crucial role in developing the Shutterized Beacon Chain concept that laid the foundation for the advanced Shutter technology that's launching today.

Shutter Network Community Update - May & June 2024

Shutter Network Brand Refresh
Shutter Network is excited to share the journey behind our fresh new look. Our technology can be overwhelming for some with all the technical jargon. Our goal is to make our technology accessible and easy to understand for everyone, enabling its implementation and driving systemic change.
A New Look for Everyone
The Shutter Network has evolved. With this evolution comes a new look and feel. This new design reflects our ambition to make crypto safe and accessible for all.
- Bright and Fun: A style that's accessible to everyone.
- A Wider Audience: Engaging directly with both developers and crypto users as we develop the software.
- Educating the Community: Raising awareness about MEV attacks and voting manipulation.

Shutter X HOPR: There is no Freedom Without End-To-End Encryption
In the future, getting as close as possible to full end-to-end encryption will be essential for privacy, censorship resistance, and giving people more control over their data. Shutter and HOPR are at the forefront of this effort. Shutter enhances transaction security on chains by preventing front running with its encrypted mempool, while HOPR focuses on metadata privacy and user anonymity through advanced techniques like onion routing and mixnets for data transfer. Together, they aim to create a comprehensive privacy and security framework for blockchain environments. The potential for a unified privacy SDK collaboration between Shutter and HOPR could streamline integration and significantly enhance privacy for developers across multiple platforms.
