my current watchlist for privacy builds: $zec is up over 200% since early aug, and that pressure alone has pulled the whole privacy sector back into the spotlight. I split the sector into a few themes, not by tech, but by how privacy actually reaches the user: ▸ privacy by default ▸ opt-in privacy ▸ privacy as a service ▸ privacy tooling some names I'm tracking rn: + @zama - my latest addition. running cUSDC with confidential assets coming to DeFi, live on morpho + @nillion - started as a blind computer, now building toward encrypted markets with a roadmap to push encryption into every corner of the chain + @arcium - solana's confidential computing flagship, now pushing into privacy-preserving AI inference and training (arcium blackthorn) + @zano_project - privacy-by-default L1, hides every asset, transaction, and balance on-chain + @railgun_project - a shield for tokens on evms, lets users hold assets and still interact with defi + @aztecnetwork - privacy L2 built for private defi and encrypted credentials at the institutional level ➜ privacy matters, but i didn't see this much hype coming, not in my wildest dreams. You thoughts?
