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 -

We’re excited to announce that Shutter and Snapshot are partnering to bring Permanent Shielded Voting to all DAOs using Snapshot. This new system will use a form of linear threshold-homomorphic encryption (specifically ElGamal) in combination with zero-knowledge proofs, ensuring that every individual vote remains permanently private while voting results

Explore how Shutter uses threshold encryption to fight MEV, its strengths and trade-offs.

We're excited to share some big news: Erigon’s 3.1.0 Pebble Paw release now officially supports Shutter’s encrypted mempool on the Gnosis chain in addition to the Nethermind client. Erigon is a high-performance Ethereum execution client, and this update makes it easier than ever for

What if your AI could launch time-locked encrypted workflows with just a few prompts? That’s now possible with today’s release of the testnet alpha of Shutter MCP, powered by Shutter API. With Shutter MCP, your AI can set up and run: * Sealed-bid request for proposals * Sealed bug bounties

Ethereum's $1 trillion security initiative aims to attract institutional capital, but the chain’s transparent mempool enables $1.8 billion in malicious MEV extraction.

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.

Shutter proposes the clearest path to winning BNB Chain’s war against malicious MEV - an encrypted mempool.
