Ethereum Foundation announces ‚Privacy Cluster‘ team
The team of 47 professionals from the blockchain industry will help research and develop privacy features for the Ethereum layer-1 network.
The Ethereum Foundation, which oversees the development of the Ethereum network, announced the “Privacy Cluster,” a team of 47 experts across the blockchain industry tasked with bringing privacy features to the layer-1 smart contract network.
Ethereum’s privacy cluster brings together researchers, engineers and cryptographers to develop protocol-level privacy features, including private payments and private decentralized identity solutions, according to a Wednesday announcement.
The Foundation introduced Privacy Stewards for Ethereum (PSE), a privacy-focused research and development initiative, in September, and the Privacy Cluster will work closely with PSE to build out privacy-preserving enhancements.
