Roadmap also suggested exploration of a workaround for personal data broadcast through remote procedure call (RPC) services, and private identification solutions through proof zero-knowledge (ZK), a method of verifying information without revealing the specific content of that information. PSE described its mission:

“Ethereum should be the main infrastructure for global digital commerce, identity, cooperation, and the internet of value. But this potential is impossible without private data, transactions, and identity. We take responsibility within the Ethereum Foundation for ensuring privacy goals in the application layer of application.

“We will work with protocol teams to ensure any L1 changes required to enable strong, censorship-resistant intermediary-free privacy that has occurred,” the announcement continued.

Privacy is always in the main part of Cypherpunk Ethos who has spawned cryptocurrencies, and while crypto gets a wide adoption and the attention of governments, the crypto community is increasingly concerned about the emerging Digital financial monitoring Methods.
