Ethereum

What is the next step for base layer privacy in the Ethereum roadmap?
Things like stealth addresses or EIP-7503 seem missing from Vitalik's roadmap diagram.

Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a ton of interest for L1 privacy. It’s obviously extremely complex, but I really wish we spent like 20% of the brainpower that we spend on “solving MEV” towards L1 privacy. 

The extent to which we may all just be building surveillance infrastructure is underrated.

We won't have widespread privacy until it becomes the default, so how do we make it the default? Some rough ideas:

1. Wallets need to start caring about privacy. At a minimum can imagine a UTXO-like wallet where everything is stealth addresses by default. Maybe doable with a MetaMask snap?

I think a great first step here is for someone write the equivalent of @vitalik.eth’s rollup centric roadmap but for for privacy, to give the community a vision to rally behind
