web3privacy now - 700+ privacy projects empowering Web3
Web3privacy now is a research project aimed at building a culture of privacy industry in web3: the most extensive database of privacy-enhancing solutions, the framework for PEDApps ideation, use-cases database & many more. Feel free to collaborate.
⚠️ Note! Highlighted Privacy Enhanced Decentralised Applications (PEDApps) facilitate a different approach to privacy. Their solutions' maturity varies from conceptualisation to mainnet. So use them cautiously, especially when projects don't have a third-party security audit. That's why Web3Privacy Now is ongoing research: aggregation (we are here now) - audit - scoring.
Feel free to update the list!
