PRIVACY IS MORE THAN MONEY

This is what the Kohaku project is, straight from its core contributors, @VitalikButerin and @ncsgy.

TLDR: it is a serious attempt to rethink online safety and privacy across money, AI, and life.

Let’s dive in.

Kohaku starts from this problem: the internet leaks more than people realize.

Your wallet can leak.
Your browser can leak.
Your app can leak.
Your RPC provider can leak.
Your IP can leak.

Soon, your AI agent can leak too.

Just having private apps/txns is NOT enough.

A system is truly private when it stops leaking data, and secure when it stops leaking money. That means you have to care about every layer the user actually touches.

You cannot just clean one room in the house and leave the kitchen dirty. We need ways to clean the whole house.

today, @ethereum made its biggest upgrade in years…not to code, but to coordination.

↓

the @ethereumfndn launched a new core unit called “protocol.”

it’s led by legends and it’s the clearest signal yet that the @ethereumfndn is entering its pragmatic, aggressive, and winner era.

let’s learn more ↓

the north star:

- scale the base layer
- scale blobs for rollups
- improve the user experience

this is ethereum with a product roadmap, one that benefits users, apps, and eth holders alike.

here is a explainer thread on zk

for normal people who use the internet and want it to respect them

↓

imagine you could prove you’re over 18

without showing your birthday, or your name, or your ID

just: yes, i’m legit

and that’s all the site ever sees

that’s zk

zk = zero-knowledge

a way to prove something is true
without revealing the thing itself

you prove the fact not the data
and suddenly, the internet can get a whole lot more private, safe, and human

everyone’s talking about stablecoins
but most people miss what’s actually happening under the hood.

we’re reviving one of the most radical ideas in banking history:

narrow banking, rebuilt onchain. ↓

to understand this shift, you need to know two models:

fractional reserve banking
vs
narrow banking

this ideas affect how money works, how credit flows, and what role banks play.

fractional reserve banking is what we use today.

banks keep a fraction of deposits in reserve (say 10%) and lend out the rest.

this lets them create money through credit.

but it also makes them fragile.

adding cryptography to ai..some weekend thoughts 🧵

imagine an agent so intimately woven into your daily life that it’s almost a second brain. it checks your emails, invests your money, and even makes deals on your behalf.

but here’s the key question: how will you trust it?

leading researchers predict personal ai agents will become as common as smartphones in the next decade (see de lange et al)

these agents won’t just answer queries; they’ll evolve with you, learning from every email, transaction, or conversation you have.

BUT the risk today is that if they’re compromised or manipulated, then well...you're f*cked.

the privacy dilemma:

these ai agents will handle everything from financial transactions to sensitive health data. one breach could expose it all. so how do we solve this?

1. secure hardware enclaves (tees): run sensitive computations in isolated hardware zones, even if the OS is compromised, the data remains encrypted within the enclave. see the work of @sxysun1 @socrates1024 @ropirito @NousResearch @flashbots_x to see what this looks like for agents.

2. zero-knowledge proofs: prove an agent followed your instructions (e.g., made a correct calculation) without revealing the raw data.

the ethereum pectra upgrade is coming. it’s one of the most ambitious upgrades yet.

here is what you need to know 🧵

so, what is pectra?

pectra = prague + electra.

it’s ethereum’s glow-up.

let’s dive in.

first, the process:

teams tested over 100 devnets during an event in kenya (nyota interop). they tried everything. from there, they narrowed down 20+ ideas into 11 that are ready for prime time.

prime time = pectra
