You wish to be part of W3PN Ecosystem?? Letā€™s make sure we are on the same page about what our work is all about.

Despite the foundational role that privacy is meant to play in shaping Web3, genuinely impactful initiatives remain scarce. Many projects leverage the concept of privacy as a buzzword or for public relations advantage, rather than addressing tangible issues or enacting substantial changes at the infrastructural and transactional level.

Our ultimate goal is to empower individuals to take control of their digital privacy through the Web3 stack by:

  • building practical tools and spreading knowledge (research, infographics, guidelines, academyā€¦)
  • gathering people (from hacktivists to policymakers, from philosophers to foundersā€¦), and facilitating understanding and collaboration

We envision a world where privacy is a conscious, actively chosen lifestyle, accessible to everyone, everywhere.

  3. Check:
  • product-readiness (actual state: devnet, testnet, mainnet)
  • team status (public, anon)
  • github/docs-readiness (available/not)
  • ecosystem
  • token (yes/no/Coinmarketcap link).
