We built something fun :) Make a prediction, choose a time and have it revealed by the Shutter Keypers via Shutter 🛡️⚔️ API in the future! shutter-predict.shutter.network Be aware this is still very early/rough software, please check it out and report issues/improvements!

I have committed on-chain to a prediction which is threshold encrypted until 31/03/2025, 15:10:00. First characters of the ciphertext: 0x039917ea Here's a link to view it: shutter-predict.shutter.network/prediction_det… Follow Shutter Predict to see this prediction revealed when the time comes!

I just published a post on ethresearch introducing an anti-collusion mechanism for threshold encrypted mempools at the example of the Shutter 🛡️⚔️. I also discuss how the mechanism could even be applied more generally to any encrypted mempool design ethresear.ch/t/an-anti-coll…

Today we make a small but important step toward an encrypted mempool on Ethereum. The threshold trust assumption — a key challenge in cryptography — has been a big barrier. Our colleague Andreas published a new approach on EthResearch to mitigate it for that use case. 🧵 1/5

Shutter is for everyone. Fairness & privacy for dApps, DAOs & chains.

Basically everything needs a threshold-KMS (key management system) It makes everything more secure, more robust, more fair: - secure file/document storage/backup - custody (fiat + crypto) - trading - governance (shielded voting) - games - FHE - auctions - requests for proposals

Indistinguishability Obfuscation (iO) has recently been discussed in the Ethereum community as a promising candidate to achieve privacy in web3. In this post, we take a closer look and explore the limitations and potential upsides of iO for web3: blog.shutter.network/the-inconvenie…

📢 A few weeks ago, Shutter joined the fight to against malicious MEV on BNB Chain! We submitted a proposal to bring an encrypted mempool to the chain. Now it’s your turn—join the fight! Tell BNB Chain that you want to finally end malicious MEV! blog.shutter.network/bnb-chain-is-a…

Even if we have scalable FHE for verifiable, confidential compute, we'll need to (selectively) decrypt to process the results, ideally decentralized. This is why threshold key management is needed even in the "holy grail" vision for cryptography. Read: blog.shutter.network/guardians-of-p…

What do ePBS, FOCIL & encrypted mempools have in common? Together, they form Ethereum’s best shot at true censorship resistance. We’re calling on others to help build this architecture. Thanks to Marc Harvey-Hill & Julian for feedback on this blog post. blog.shutter.network/the-holy-trini…

🧵1/ Censorship resistance is Ethereum’s core USP in becoming the global clearing & settlement layer. If you don’t need it, use Solana/CEX. We can level it up substantially. Enter what is emerging as the “Holy Trinity of Censorship Resistance.”: ePBS, FOCIL, encrypted mempool:

New vulnerability in Intel CPUs leaks sensitive data. It’s not about TEEs this time, but it is another reminder: 🛑 Stop trusting hardware ✅ Start trusting cryptography and decentralization That's why we built Shutter. bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/…

Appreciate vitalik.eth sharing our blog post with @DecentDao. Totally agree, governance works best when people can vote their conscience without being swayed. Shielded Voting has been major feature requested by DAOs. 600+ DAOs have already used it on Snapshot.eth.

There’s finally momentum building to bring more privacy to governance! Vitalik’s called for it. So has Kleros, Snapshot.eth, decent, MACI & others Let’s push this! Our plan's in the comments below. Share yours - let's all see what's happening & build together👇

* Luis Bezzenberger, Andreas Erwig, Marc Harvey-Hill present the "Holy Trinity of Censorship Resistance", enshrined PBS, FOCIL, & encrypted mempools, as a path to restoring fairness and neutrality in Ethereum, with a Gnosis Chain 🦉 mainnet demo of encrypted transaction flow from the user

Shutter is coming to EthCC - Ethereum Community Conference[8]! Join us for our talks by Andreas Erwig, Luis Bezzenberger, Loring Harkness Add the talks to your calendar using the links below. 🧵1/4

Our message to EthCC - Ethereum Community Conference[8] goers: Without an encrypted mempool, there is no mass adoption on Ethereum. Let's end malicious MEV by encrypting the mempool!

One of the best articles on the importance of privacy I've read in a while

Thanks EthCC - Ethereum Community Conference for the opportunity to speak in Cannes last week! I presented a novel anti-collusion mechanism that significantly reduces the trust assumption of threshold encrypted mempools, using Shutter 🛡️⚔️ as an example.
