Private Reads
Ethereum Foundation
We work on solutions that protect Ethereum users from leaking who they are and what they are reading from the Ethereum blockchain.
Oblivious Reads
PIR primitives that let servers process queries without learning what was read. Our sharded design tailors different schemes to different slices of Ethereum state.
Anonymized Routing
TorJS brings Tor to the browser for network-level unlinkability. We are also exploring Ethereum-sandboxed mixnets for RPC traffic.
Acceleration
Targeted grants via Privacy Acceleration Proposals (PAPs) to boost our work or unlock new solutions from the community.
Collaboration
Working with projects inside and outside the Ethereum ecosystem — wallet teams, RPC providers, cryptography researchers — to co-develop privacy solutions.

Embedding Tor in Browser Wallets, Frontends, and dApps
A technical account of our effort to compile Arti — the Tor Project's Rust implementation — to WebAssembly, enabling wallets and dApps to route traffic through Tor directly from the browser.
