The Ethereum Foundation has published an end-to-end Ethereum privacy roadmap designed to bolster privacy protections across the network. The original “Privacy and Scalability Exploration” team has been rebranded as the Ethereum Privacy Engine (PSE), reflecting a shift toward solving measurable ecosystem challenges. The roadmap emphasizes three pillars—privacy on-chain for parity with public operations, privacy off-chain to shield identity and intent when accessing ledger data, and privacy proofs to enhance verification throughput and cryptographic efficiency.
The PSE is currently developing the experimental L2 PlasmaFold and is planning to showcase it at Argentina Devcon on November 17. Parallel work includes scaling privacy RPC services, publishing the 2025 Privacy Voting Status report, and evaluating DeFi and privacy-computing projects that balance privacy requirements with regulatory compliance and governance considerations.
