The Ethereum Foundation has established the "Privacy Cluster" team to continuously enhance the network's privacy features.

BlockBeats News, October 9th. According to official sources, the Ethereum Foundation (EF) has announced the establishment of the Privacy Cluster, consisting of 47 top blockchain researchers, engineers, coordinators, and cryptography experts, aiming to advance the privacy protection capabilities of the Ethereum network. The cluster, coordinated by Igor Barinov, will integrate the Foundation's existing privacy research and development projects and drive new privacy-related initiatives. The core projects of the Privacy Cluster include:

Private Reads & Writes (PSE): Enabling private payments, voting, and interactive operations to ensure the security and low cost of user and enterprise browsing, querying, and authentication.

Private Proving (PSE): Achieving efficient, portable proofs to verify identity, assets, or qualifications without revealing additional information.

Private Identities (PSE): Selective disclosure with the zkID project, protecting online identity privacy.

Privacy Experience (PSE): Enhancing user experience of privacy protocols to make privacy features easy to use and widespread.

Institutional Privacy Task Force (IPTF): An interdisciplinary team that will translate regulatory and operational requirements into privacy standards to help institutions address real-world use cases.

Kohaku: A brand-new privacy wallet and open-source SDK making strong cryptographic techniques easy to use.

The Ethereum Foundation stated that privacy should be a core feature of the Ethereum ecosystem and that the Foundation will collaborate with the ecosystem to build secure and user-friendly privacy protections for individuals and institutions.
