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.

If the demand arises, the privacy enabled blockchain/rollup/whatever will come if there’s money to be made by the builders. Don’t think this is something to worry about tbh

Leading the Digital Asset strategy at a multinational CEX but truly a Degen at heart.

I would say that this is true to a certain extent, but by no means is absolute.  CEXs have to deal with countering money laundering practices, which has additional expenses and gov scrutiny, in effect makes CEXs highly resistant to listing privacy coins, which makes a huge hurdle for start ups to overcome.
