Vitalik Unveils Ethereum L1 Privacy Roadmap (Simplified Version)

BlockBeats News, April 11th, Vitalik released the Ethereum L1 Privacy Roadmap (Simplified Version), which covers four main forms of privacy:

On-chain Payment Privacy

Partial Application-layer On-chain Activity Anonymity

On-chain Reads (i.e., RPC calls) Privacy

Network-level Anonymity

This roadmap can be combined with the long-term roadmap, which may involve deeper changes to L1, application-specific privacy-preserving Rollups, or other more complex features. The roadmap proposes the integration of privacy tools (such as Railgun), default "one address per app," implementation of FOCIL and EIP-7701, among other measures. Vitalik emphasized that the goal is to achieve default privacy transactions, cross-app activity unlinkability, and to defend against on-chain and RPC node privacy threats, setting a new benchmark for privacy protection in the Ethereum ecosystem.

Vitalik noted that this roadmap aims to elevate the level of privacy in the Ethereum ecosystem in the most lightweight manner while laying the foundation for more in-depth long-term solutions, such as L1 improvements or dedicated Rollups.
