Update: 2025-12-24
Description
Cryptos Privacy Revolution: Ethereum Leads the Charge for Self-SovereigntyAs crypto platforms like Ethereum embrace privacy tools, theyre challenging traditional identity systems. Vitalik Buterin advocates for selective disclosure and zero-knowledge proofs, prioritizing openness and self-sovereignty over surveillance. Ethereum hosts over seven hundred fifty privacy projects, many focusing on credentials and selective sharing.Governments, however, are pushing back with surveillance plans. Switzerlands proposal to force identity checks and decryption on apps with over five thousand users sparked outrage from privacy firms. The UK rolled out age verification with zero-knowledge proofs, and Google added them to digital IDs in the US.This shift towards privacy-first identity is reshaping online verification, balancing protection against overreach.
