How do you see privacy preserving technology being implemented on blockchains? Especially for payments

i generally think that @vbuterin's thinking on stealth addresses and other privacy systems that can be built on the EVM (and into smart wallets) is the most likely path to mainstream privacy adoption in crypto at this point.

Working to make payments fast, cheap and private 

All casts are my own.

Thanks. Do you see Base adopting stealth addresses too? 

Are there any projects that you think address this issue effectively right now? I'm especially interested in understanding how privacy will be addressed on mobile platforms without having to rely on trusted third parties or thin wallets

stealth wallets and other systems could definitely be deployed on base - they’ll end up working across all EVM chains IMO
