Ethereum developers are testing a zero-knowledge (ZK)-based privacy protocol enabling on-chain “Secret Santa”–style anonymous matching. Participants use ZK proofs to verify relationships, relayers to hide transaction origins, and shared randomness to encrypt gift messages, preventing address exposure, duplicate registration, or self-matching. The protocol is seen as a key step in Ethereum’s privacy framework, with potential applications in anonymous voting, DAO governance, whistleblowing, and private airdro ...

Grayscale Investments has moved to capitalize on one of the most explosive crypto rallies of the year, filing to convert its long-running Zcash Trust into a U.S.-listed exchange-traded fund. The Wednesday submission to the Securities and Exchange Commission marks the firm’s latest attempt to expand its ETF lineup into the fast-moving privacy-coin sector at a time when Zcash has surged nearly 1,000% over the past year. If approved, the product would become the first U.S. ETF to offer regulated exposure to ...

a16z crypto submitted first-round feedback to the U.S. Treasury on GENIUS Act implementation, advocating privacy-preserving decentralized digital identity to bolster compliance and security. It urges FinCEN to update AML/KYC to allow ZKPs and other cryptography for privacy-safe identity verification, and to clearly distinguish decentralized stablecoins from payment stablecoins to enable fair, technology-driven regulation. https://t.co/BRIMeSKJzV ...

Here's the real story behind Zcash 🤔👇From 2008, Ben-Sasson and his collaborators had been working on general-purpose zero-knowledge proof technology. While they didn't have a use case, they knew the technology was incredibly powerful."We knew z ...
