Almost a year ago, I published my "Ethereum Cypherpunk Manifesto". Have we made any fucking progress? Absolutely fucking not. We keep throwing away the principles that brought us here for some short-term bullshit profits. Nobody gives a fuck about the centralised infrastructure propping up so-called "decentralised" blockchains. Privacy? It's a fucking afterthought instead of the core priority it should be. Will I give up? Fuck no. But you're all a bunch of fucking cowards who don't act on clear principles. https://x.com/pcaversaccio/status/1768934679606903069

I am more optimistic. The reasons why we historically did not push harder on privacy are: 1. ZK tech was not mature enough, there would have been too much soundness failure risk and UX would not have been good enough no matter how much we tried. 2. Fees are too high, and anything with SNARKs costs 10x more on top of that. Both problems are now basically solved. And we have increasingly mature privacy tools: railway, now veil.cash, tornado itself is continuing to be used. And so now we can, and should, go on offense. I think the main error is that we have thought of "privacy wallets" as a separate type of dapp or wallet, where in reality it should be an integrated feature of your wallet.

the state of wallets privacy is really sad rn: β easy deanonymiziation through RPCs (solvable by plugging in a proxy layer, Tor for example) β lack of verification for RPC correctness (no way to tell if an RPC is lying) β supply chain risk, lots of wallets are bloated with useless legacy crap that also carries potential CVEs

since it is crime season, i think it would be really fun if ethereum went hyper aggressive on cypherpunk values.
