The Ethereum Foundation has published a roadmap to provide end -to -end confidentiality features to the Ethereum network, an intelligent layer 1 contract blockchain (L1), and renamed its initiative “Confidentiality and scaling explorations” with “Steward of Ethereum” (PSE).
PSE said that it was aimed at providing confidentiality solutions to the protocol, infrastructure, networks, applications and wallet layers during the announcement on Friday and has set several key objectives for the next 3-6 months.
These included the activation of private transfers through the development of the Plasmafold Layer-2 network, confidential vote and confidentiality in decentralized financing applications (DEFI).
The roadmap has also proposed to explore a bypass solution for personal data disseminated via remote procedure call services (RPC) and private identity solutions by zero knowledge of knowledge (ZK), a way to check the information without revealing the specific content of this information. PSE has described its mission:
“Ethereum deserves to become basic infrastructure for global digital trade, identity, collaboration and the Internet of value. But this potential is impossible without private data, transactions and identity. We take responsibility for the Ethereum Foundation to guarantee that the privacy objectives in the application layer are achieved.
“We will work with protocol teams to ensure that the L1 changes necessary to allow confidentiality without strong intermediary and censorship take place,” continued the announcement.
Private life has always been at the heart of Cypherpunk ethics that has generated cryptocurrencies, and as the crypto wins a general adoption and the attention of governments, the cryptographic community is increasingly concerned about the evolution of digital financial surveillance methods.

The American government offers government identity checks to define
US government representatives are currently assessing regulations for cryptographic industry and markets, which include potential monitoring measures to follow the activity of participants.
The American Treasury Department, led by Secretary Scott Bessent, explores proposals to add government identity checks to intelligent contracts, which has drawn the reaction of the cryptographic community.
The co-founder Ethereum Vitalik Buterin said on several occasions that privacy is an essential human right. In April, Buterin warned that transparency is more a bug, rather than a functionality, in the digital age.
Buterin said that privacy was necessary to protect individuals at a time of growing state power and large centralized companies.
