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 donβt 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.
