Ethereum

Many Ethereum based projects are not very Tor friendly.

I've run into many issues that mostly come from some external service provider blocking requests originating from Exit Nodes. I've had issues with Gnosis, Cowswap, Uniswap, and so on.

Obviously, I host local frontends in these cases. Many users won't though.

Furthermore, I also usually go the mile of doing proper bug reports (logs included) for these kinds of things but then they usually get ignored.

The message is that where possible, I encourage devs to create Tor-compatible frontends because it makes life easier for many more privacy conscious users of Ethereum.

Not sure what you specifically mean by opting into something that offers privacy by default. Could you expand?

The opportunity cost to spending time on privacy preserving features is too high when trying to grow fast. Is there a way to make the UX better by opting into something that offers privacy by default?

Mentioned Tor but I2P would imply either over an outproxy or an actual hidden service which are nonexistent.

I think I only saw Zmok provide HS (Tor, not sure I2P) RPC's. As an option but that doesn't solve the problem of external dependencies.

I think you shouldn’t try Ethereum services with I2P 😄🥲
