I don't really see it as, as pushing the balance necessarily. It hates, you know, development of encryption software is not a new thing. There's pretty well established both like law and policy about what it means to develop encryption software. And so I'm not really worried about that part.
Henry de Valence, one of the deepest thinkers of privacy and the founder of Penumbra joins the podcast for a comprehensive discussion on privacy. Can Gurel, a research lead at Delphi Digital, joins as a co-host given his recent in-depth Privacy report.
In this episode, we covered:
- The importance of privacy for humans and in crypto
- Financial privacy as a human right
- The limits of what can be built on a fully transparent chain
- Different ways teams deal with regulation in the ever-evolving crypto landscape
- Whether we can expect most liquidity to be in private form in the next 5-10 years
In the technical segment, we dove into various infrastructures of private design, including privacy built on L1s, L2s, dApps and via smart contracts like Tornado Cash. We discussed Penumbra's unique two-phase protocol for privacy vs. concurrent-access-to-state and the potential of threshold decryption as a go-to MEV solution. Our conversation also covered private staking designs, challenges with IBC, and the exciting possibilities enabled by interchain accounts with Penumbra.
