Hacker Manuals & Privacy Guidelines to help the builders deliver practical privacy-enhancing projects, turn them into products, & scale being sustainable. To showcase and distribute during privacy events worldwide. V2 LIVE - here.

Team

Current project status (v2)

Context: we were actively participating in hackathons core at ETHRome & core at ETHDam, judging & speaking, making Privacy Corner at ETHBerlin.

We understood that many people came into privacy after Tornado Cash case or Vitalik promoting privacy solutions & cypherpunk spirit. But hackers don’t get privacy in the bigger context:

  • Surveillance capitalism business models.
  • Centralization of knowledge.
  • Proprietary software etc.

Idea: The Privacy Builder Pack (PBP) is designed to empower devs to move beyond one-off projects and build privacy-first applications that can scale and thrive in the long term.

Goals

  • Make meaningful privacy-solutions -> so accidental in privacy people will do not a dead code.
  • Build sustainable privacy projects -> turn hackathon demos into products that will stay.
  • Re-wire crypto funds into value alligned hands -> match conscious devs with good mentors, grant programs etc.
