[BREAKING] It's time to fund privacy.

We've been impressed with @ethereuminsti's work in growing Ethereum adoption from an institutional perspective.

We're delighted to share, we're partnering with them for the Ethereum Institutional Forum in London this year.

Join us as we explore Ethereum’s roadmap, post-quantum readiness and the infrastructure enabling institutional finance onchain.

Wanting privacy shouldn't be suspicious.

[satvik @sxtvik]

Couldn't agree more @jessewldn.

I shared a similar belief from the perspective of building privacy tools on my livestream with @OctantApp this week.

People will always try to ban things they don't understand - we saw this with crypto, we are seeing it with AI, it becomes tangible when companies ban AI assistants from access, or when people call for my arrest for building resilient networking products. Ultimately, these experiments will pave the way for larger opportunities and new movements that inevitably shape society.

I feel like I have a responsibility to break the rules and continue fighting the uphill battle.

[Golem Foundation @GolemFoundation]

We’re proud to be supporting the best teams in Ethereum via @OctantApp.

Being long ETH means investing in the best teams in Ethereum, through the bear and the bull.

We’ve been doing just that through funding Octant and its matching pool since 2023.

[Octant @OctantApp]

@sdotsome @ethereuminsti @GolemFoundation Indeed. It's a pretty sustainable model!

[corpus.core @CorpusCoreHQ]

The @OctantApp Epoch 13 allocation window is closed.

38 people supported colibri + PAP. Thank you! In quadratic funding every single one of you counted.

What we're working on:
• Ship PAP Basic as a standard colibri feature, with transport and content privacy, spec and docs on GitHub
• Let applications choose the privacy level per request
• Grow from one production PAP deployment to at least three
• Run two public workshops for wallet and dApp teams

We'll report progress here. Thanks also to the Octant team, @GolemFoundation and the 12 other projects in this cohort.

[Octant @OctantApp]

What an epoch! Thank you for contributing to advancing privacy on Ethereum and the open internet. Your allocations have helped allocate 100 ETH in matching funds from @GolemFoundation.

A big congrats to all the teams in the cohort. Thank you for all your work. Here's to a future where privacy is the default and not the exception.

[Loring Harkness @LoringHarkness]

Thank you so much to @OctantApp, @GolemFoundation and everyone who contributed to the 13 privacy projects! 🙏 You give us motivation and funds to build a world in which everyone is sovereign and secure.

[Umbra @UmbraCash]

@OctantApp And kudos to the other 12 teams we shared Epoch 13 with: @0xCurvy, @BlockchainComns, @CorpusCoreHQ, @hisoka_io, @OfflineProtocol, @session_app, @ShutterNetwork, @staycloakedxyz, @torproject, @unredacted_org, @vocdoni and @wslyvh's Paperweight.

Remember, privacy is multiplayer!

[Umbra @UmbraCash]

We’re unironically humbled, honored and proud to announce 127 people backed us in @OctantApp's Epoch 13!

Turns out privacy requires B2B sales too.

Paraphrasing Eric Hughes, we must better sell people on privacy if we expect to have any.

Time to lock in on Umbra v2.

Onward.

[Shutter 🛡️⚔️ @ShutterNetwork]

Thank you everyone who supported Shutter and all the projects in @OctantApp Epoch 13!

The matching pool was 100% allocated 👏

Shutter raised 3.76 wETH to advance encrypted mempools on Ethereum and private, verifiable voting for DAOs and real-world elections 🎉

I spread my support across the round in "Epoch 13: Privacy Round" on @OctantApp via quadratic funding — turns out I'm a Connector. 😊

T-3 hours left to vote and donate in @OctantApp's Privacy round! 🔥 This one is especially close to my heart, very proud to be supporting <redacted> builders in this round! 😎

p.s You do not need to hold GLM to participate in this round, you can use ETH/WETH!

[Octant @OctantApp]

That's a wrap! 🫔

The Epoch 13 Allocation is now closed.

Thank you to everyone who backed a privacy project this round. 🫶

Results coming soon!

[mashal @arlery]

Celebrating privacy and @davidzmorris’ new documentary covering @rstormsf’s trial.

V fitting time as we reach the final hours of our privacy funding round on @OctantApp.

Writing code should not be a crime. Roman’s been unfairly prosecuted and is now going into his second trial. His case deserves a LOT more visibility and awareness.

[miranda. @mirandamartell]

free @rstormsf ..!!!
