🍓 PIR for the Ethereum State

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

🍋 Network-level Privacy

Network-level anonymization for Ethereum RPC across two tracks: TorJS (Arti compiled to WASM with a fetch()-compatible API), and the Abstract Access Layer (a pluggable interface so wallets and dApps can route through diverse anonymity networks through a unified abstraction).

🍎 Verifiable UBT

A binary trie (EIP-7864) brings smaller proofs and zk-friendlier state. We run an extra-protocol binary trie alongside mainnet and prove its equivalence to the MPT via zkVMs — unlocking the benefits today for PIR, light clients, and anyone else looking to migrate ahead of protocol inclusion.

🍐 Research

Open problems particularly in PIR schemes and optimizations that bring them closer to practical overheads.
