There are some missing pieces before Ethereum can flip the "privacy by default" switch. The main one is private messaging/transport. @xmtp and @nymproject are getting us there though. The important part is that with the roll-up centric roadmap, private networks will not only be possible, but simpler, cheaper, and safer than centralized alternatives. Once Ethereum goes fully "stateless" no one will need, or even have access to, state that isn't directly relevant to what they're doing. We will naturally arrive at a "private by default" by removing technical debt. I'm fine with centralized entities screwing around with various proving and sequencing mechanisms, extracting value to fund research, because once the tech is solid and enshrined, that type of rent seeking will be impossible.

Signal has moved the ball on e2e for the masses, but it's centralized arch makes it a honeypot for metadata collection & timing correlation attacks. p2p networks w/ plausible deniability bloom filters like @waku & mixnets like @nymproject make attacks like this harder w/ the tradeoff of higher bandwidth & latency.

Nym’s zero-knowledge network: No logging promises needed 🛡️Nym provides a zero-knowledge network in which users don’t have to place their trust in anyone. 🛡️Nym can't log because it doesn't operate servers so never handles or has access to traffic records 🛡️There is no central logging capacity, and no point where Sender & Destination on the web can be linked. Read more about how Nym can´t log and the zero-knowledge network 👇 https://nymvpn.com/en/blog/nyms-zero-knowledge-network

In his own words: "My research is centered around the topic of privacy enhancing technologies. In particular, I am focused on both attacking and defending anonymous communication systems" http://len.sassaman.net

Len Sassaman built the first working mixnet called Mixmaster. Mixmaster allowed you to send email anonymously or pseudonymously and added protection against traffic analysis. http://mixmaster.sourceforge.net
