🍓 PIR for Ethereum State

Scalable obliviousness primitives ensuring servers cannot learn what clients read. Sharded across data types, each served by a tailored cryptographic engine.

🍑 TorJS / Embedded Arti

Network-level anonymization via Tor in the browser. Arti compiled to WASM with a fetch()-compatible API for wallets and frontends.

🍒 Verifiable UBT

Universal Binary Trie is the future, but we can begin to enjoy its many benefits today, with a proof of its equivalence to mainnet MPT thanks to zkVMs. We use it for PIR, but invite others to begin adopting UBT-enabled nodes we are working on.

🍋 Research

Various open problems and investigations particularly in the PIR effort and in optimizing embedded Arti (Rust Tor) further — generally and for the Ethereum context specifically.
