v2 of Privacy Pools is coming 🔥🔥🔥

It will the the next step in compliant privacy tooling:
- built-in private yield
- more security via hardware wallet support for ZK secrets, multi-sig and safe support
- stealth addresses for interacting privately with DeFi protocols
- private double-blind venmo-style payments and requests

Live on testnet right now. Don't miss this.

There is no future without privacy.

[Lukas ⟠🔺 @FryCookVC]

Incredibly proud of the team at @0xbowio for what they are building.

Myself and @Cyph3rVae are grateful that Plutos Capital can play a part in their journey.

Without privacy the future looks grim.

Yet with privacy pools built by 0xBow there is hope. A future where you can achieve privacy onchain yet dissociate yourself from illicit funds. The morally right thing, without compromising your values.

And let's not forget institutions. Without compliance enabled privacy institutional adoption is a fantasy.

If you haven't already, check out Privacy Pools and get ready for v2. Many great things are coming. Devs are cracked, and cooking.

Peer is now running on TEEs.

Payment verification just got 100x faster, from ~30s to <300ms.

Here's what changed.

@mil000 INSANE edge

@nixorokish @jchaskin22 i have exactly the same feeling, and many others I know share it..signal accounts would be nice where u can switch to a work account that turns off notifications at certain times of the day.

@madamczyk0 @SpaceComputerIO @semicondurian @Cyph3rVae I'm glad the cake was delicious 🎉🎉🎉 Happy Birthday 🎂🎈

[Lukas ⟠🔺 @FryCookVC]

@DrFuture8000 @TokenBrice @LiquityProtocol @fraxfinance @PharosWatch will check it out 🔥

[Lukas ⟠🔺 @FryCookVC]

I mean I ain't gonna say I told ya so, but how many times have we shouted into the void that we need more decentralized stablecoins

check out BOLD by @LiquityProtocol

and frxUSD by @fraxfinance is miles better than UDSC/USDT

both have pools on Privacy Pools 🔥🏊‍♀️

[wale.moca 🐳 @waleswoosh]

Update from ZachXBT.

What does this mean for privacy protocols?

[Lukas ⟠🔺 @FryCookVC]

@Param_eth does TVL actually reflect activity on Canton? Since it uses single sided ledgers it doesn't really seem like a good measure? Fees are high so there must be activity (lots of settlement and then on/off ramps?).

[Lukas ⟠🔺 @FryCookVC]

pretty freaking insane

love to see privacy on Solana

[Yannik Schrade (ARX MODE) @yrschrade]

Arcium network stats on @solana mainnet over the last 24h:

- Over 50,000 <encrypted> computations

- 144,000 transactions

- 18,000,000 MPC rounds

(all of this before full mainnet launch even!)

[Lukas ⟠🔺 @FryCookVC]

@cptgrumpus @LiquityProtocol @fraxfinance @0xprivacypools great perspective 🔥

[Lukas ⟠🔺 @FryCookVC]

yea small privacy pool on @0xprivacypools for BOLD - I'm sure it will grow in light of these zama news

Interesting, I see privacy protocols more about agency. I have nothing to hide but I also don't want everyone to see my own chain history and spending. Especially in light of so many KYC data leaks..not keen on wrench attacks.

What makes BOLD medium risk in your opinion? Keen to understand. Personally I always see risk where decentralized products rely on centralized collateral..cascade potential if something gets blocked upstream.

[Sebastian Bürgel @SCBuergel]

I can't fucking believe I still see "people don't care about decentralization" in 2026!

People care about not losing everything when the exchange goes bankrupt overnight

They care about their bank account not being frozen because they donated to the wrong cause

They care about their savings not being wiped out by one guy with a printer

They care about one bad sovereign decision not erasing three generations of wealth

They care about one company not deciding what they're allowed to buy, say, or sell

They care about the software they depend on not being killed by a boardroom decision

They care about their messages to their doctor not being read by their government

They care about one cut cable not taking down the internet for a continent

They care about one wet market not collapsing the entire global supply chain

They care about everything not hinging on whether the next leader happens to be sane

They care about no single madman being able to turn an entire state apparatus against them

They care about one rogue cell not being able to hijack and consume the whole body

PEOPLE CARE ABOUT DECENTRALIZATION!!!

@chrisgm9 @newmichwill @LiquityProtocol @fraxfinance if the brain wasn't tired I would have remembered it 😅🤣

[Lukas ⟠🔺 @FryCookVC]

@cptgrumpus @LiquityProtocol @fraxfinance even more reason to use BOLD 🔥 unless u have other recommendations?

[Lukas ⟠🔺 @FryCookVC]

@strato_money Imagine listing goblin card and not Haven @unhappyben

[tokenbrice.eth (🐜,🔍) @TokenBrice]

@FryCookVC @LiquityProtocol @fraxfinance @PharosWatch Only the best, in USD quasi exclusively $BOLD with a minor and capped USDC exposure

Also liking ZCHF for CHF exposure and making it work with XAUT/PAXG for lack of better alternative (for now...) for gold exposure

[Lukas ⟠🔺 @FryCookVC]

@TokenBrice @LiquityProtocol @fraxfinance @PharosWatch based $BOLD user 🔥

[Lukas ⟠🔺 @FryCookVC]

@TokenBrice @LiquityProtocol @fraxfinance @PharosWatch It's good to be vigilant, what stablecoin do u use?

[Frax Finance ¤⛓️¤ @fraxfinance]

@FryCookVC @LiquityProtocol We built frxUSD to be the best stablecoin for DeFi 🤝

[Lukas ⟠🔺 @FryCookVC]

@newmichwill @LiquityProtocol @fraxfinance good call 👌 crvUSD is another good one

[Lukas ⟠🔺 @FryCookVC]

@fraxfinance @LiquityProtocol thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[Lukas ⟠🔺 @FryCookVC]

@vaibhavjindal29 @zama this is why decentralization is important lol literally
