Open questions for the community:
Should privacy be default or opt-in?
Which apps need this most (DeFi, DAOs, payments)?
How do we keep privacy and Ethereum composability?
Our design goals:
🔹 EVM-compatible
🔹 Multi-user inputs
🔹 Only encrypted state + ZK proofs go on-chain
No raw balances, no exposed metadata.
@VitalikButerin
Current state:
Optimistic + ZK rollups = scale only
Aztec = strong privacy but not fully composable yet
Fhenix = encrypted compute, but correctness tradeoffs
We need a privacy-first rollup that works like Ethereum itself.
Ethereum rollups scale… but don’t fix privacy 🕵️
Tx data, balances & metadata stay public → phishing, MEV, permanent trails.
I’m exploring a new ZK rollup with privacy as default.
Quick 🧵 & I’d love your feedback 👇

The EF is donating $500K to the legal defense of Roman Storm, and we will match up to a further $750K in donations from the community.
Privacy is normal, and writing code is not a crime.
