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.

Privacy-preserving computation is key to Web3’s future. This post explores cryptographic tools like FHE, MPC, and iO—and why trust in distributed committees, like Shutter’s Keypers, is essential for keeping data private and systems decentralized.

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.

The agentic future of finance isn’t coming—it’s already here. Platforms like Bankr, Nani, and others have made it easier than ever for crypto traders to execute transactions with just a simple command. No manual calculations, no navigating complex interfaces—just type and trade. But here’s the

We are excited to announce the release of "The Road Towards a Distributed Encrypted Mempool on Ethereum," a white paper that outlines an essential advancement in Ethereum's transaction infrastructure. This research is now available on the Ethresearch forum and presents a structured roadmap for implementing threshold

A Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) is a secure area within a processor that safeguards sensitive data and operations even if the main system is compromised. In blockchain applications, TEEs are increasingly used for privacy-preserving computations, decentralized oracles, secure random number generation, and mitigating Maximal Extractable Value (MEV). Building on this

Secret Sharing with Snitching solves the issue of shareholder collusion by making it provable and punishable.

Transaction sequencing can get overlooked in decentralized markets but can significantly impact user outcomes. Let's delve deeper into this subject and explore a few possible transaction sequencing strategies in the context of Automated Market Makers (AMMs) in decentralized finance (DeFi.) To better understand our topic, let's

Some of you have already tried the example application of the Shutter. If you missed the announcement about the alpha release, check out our previous blog post. In this article, we are providing an in-depth explanation of On-chain Shutter, Shutter’s first instantiation on Ethereum that is ready to be
