💥💥💥 The Ethereum privacy protocol upgrade in 2026 focuses on the implementation of full-stack privacy and compliance compatibility, with core progress revolving around deepening technology, ecological collaboration, and regulatory adaptation:
🔥1. The "Overall Privacy" roadmap for PSE has been implemented: The three major pillar technologies pushed by the Ethereum Privacy Steward (PSE) team have entered the operational stage—optimizing the key management and user experience of privacy writing side with stealth addresses (like the launch of Kohaku wallet), PlasmaFold compresses massive L2 transactions into a single compact proof through the "proof folding" technology, significantly reducing the mainnet verification cost; the privacy reading side promotes ORAM technology and privacy RPC to avoid user query behaviors leaking IP and asset information; the privacy proof side realizes lightweight client ZK proofs, allowing ordinary devices to quickly generate privacy credentials.
🔥 2. Network layer privacy enhancement and anti-censorship upgrade: The Ethereum 'onionization' plan promoted by Vitalik has been implemented, with Tor onion services deeply integrated into the P2P network layer, allowing validators to run non-exit relay nodes, disguising WebRTC traffic to bypass network blockades, while defending against DoS attacks, achieving dual privacy protection for transaction broadcasting and network access.
🔥3. Balancing compliance and privacy optimization: In the face of the EU DAC8 directive coming into effect, the 'disassociation proof' mechanism of the privacy pool is upgraded to strengthen the ability to isolate illegal funds; the community promotes a modular architecture for GDPR compliance, reducing the compliance pressure on the mainnet through off-chain storage, metadata erasure, and other mechanisms, while clearing obstacles for institutional capital entry.
🔥4. Ecological tools and performance collaborative upgrade: The Glamsterdam fork increases the gas limit to 200 million, supporting validators to directly verify ZK proofs, providing higher throughput for private transactions (target L1 10,000 transactions per second); Aztec's Noir language ecosystem expansion promotes the popularization of programmable privacy contracts, and the Portals cross-layer communication mechanism realizes secure interaction of privacy data between L1 and L2.
