Hey, that's us!
We're proud to have Umbra accepted as part of @OctantApp's latest Privacy Round, starting tomorrow at 12 UTC.
If you've ever benefited from our onchain privacy work do consider donating.
$20 USD is all it takes!
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.
Private payments. Public support.
Thank you to our 127 backers and kudos to @OctantApp and the @GolemFoundation for making it possible to fund privacy as a public good.
Umbra v2, here we come!
It's the final countdown indeed.
Thank you to everyone who’s backed Umbra, shared our posts or nudged a friend this week.
And kudos to @OctantApp and the 12 other teams for making this a real community effort.
Still a few hours left to cast your votes!
13 privacy projects. One very public deadline.
5 hours left to back your favorite teams in @OctantApp's Epoch 13.
The 100 ETH matching pool has been unlocked, but every extra vote still counts!
Help us ship Umbra v2 and realize the untapped potential of stealth addresses.
Privacy is multiplayer. It works best when everyone helps preserve it.
Thanks to @OctantApp, we met the Curvy team & began exploring how Umbra payments could flow directly into @0xCurvy’s private pool, extending privacy beyond the receiving addr.
Here's to more fusion dances!
Legitimately blown away by the level of support we've received so far. Thank you! This will make a difference in our resource allocation, and allow us to get Umbra v2 over the finish line. If you're able to contribute, and you haven't yet, please consider.
Our co-founder @BenDiFrancesco explains why AI just made everyone an easier target.
Think no one would bother tracking you down? AI made that so cheap now everyone’s on the spot.
Hence the need for privacy. Back the teams protecting it before @OctantApp's round closes Wednesday
Guess who's also going to be able to ship its v2 with support from the current @OctantApp Privacy Round?
Here's a sneak peak on what we've been building to improve the OG stealth address protocol on Ethereum.
AI just made privacy everyone's problem.
https://t.co/ry6VALcR6K's @wslyvh, Jayendra Madaram from @hisoka_io, and @BenDiFrancesco & @huvoliveira from @UmbraCash chat privacy in the age of AI.
You can support their work at https://t.co/8siRYRZmi7 until October 21.
48 hours left in the @OctantApp Privacy Round.
184 people have voted and helped unlock 69.61% of the 100 ETH matching pool.
Allocate and help these 13 teams hit the target! Check out all the projects building better privacy tools for everyone online or onchain 👇
Umbra now supports USDG on @ethereum and @arbitrum.
Receive @Paxos' Global Dollar at a fresh stealth address.
And you can withdraw without holding ETH for gas.
One of the best things about @OctantApp's Epoch 13 has been finding specific ways privacy projects can compose rather than just campaign next to each other.
For example, stealth addresses protect the receiver but what happens after withdrawal is also key.
To address that, we started exploring a concept with @0xCurvy where funds received through Umbra can move directly into Curvy’s private pool instead of being withdrawn to a publicly known address.
The idea is to extend privacy beyond the first hop and reduce how much any one layer can see about the full payment path. It's not live yet, but we're working on it!
Check out the teams building in this Privacy Round and vote for Umbra, Curvy and any project that catches your eye. Deadline is this Wednesday, Oct 21, 8pm ET.
Three is the number.
Consider allocating $20 in ETH to vote on @OctantApp's Epoch 13, which curated a cohort of excellent teams building very useful privacy tools.
The round closes this Wednesday at 23h59 UTC, 8pm ET, and you can select your favorite projects 👇
Less than 3 days left and only 50.21% of the quadratic funding matching pool is unlocked.
Privacy is a key human right. Help fund the teams protecting it in an increasingly dystopian world.
Back Umbra and 12 other excellent projects. And split your support to unlock more funds!
