Ethereum Foundation Launches Privacy Cluster with 47 Experts to Build Kohaku Wallet, zkID & Private PSE Projects

The Ethereum Foundation has announced the formation of a dedicated Privacy Cluster, bringing together 47 researchers, engineers and cryptography specialists to consolidate and advance privacy work across the protocol stack.

Core initiatives within the cluster include Private Reads & Writes, Private Proving, and Private Identities (notably the zkID effort), alongside a Privacy Experience program, an Institutional Privacy Task Force and the open-source privacy wallet and SDK Kohaku, each designed to strengthen operational privacy primitives and developer tooling.

The Foundation emphasized that privacy should be a foundational Ethereum feature and said it will work with the ecosystem to build secure, user-friendly privacy protections suitable for both individual users and institutional deployments.
