In this episode of Living on Blockchain, we sit down with Avidan Abitbol, Project Director at Data Ownership Protocol (DOP) — an Ethereum-based privacy protocol that’s redefining how data is handled in decentralized systems.

Avidan shares insights from his journey across MedTech AI, Kaspa, and now leading privacy innovation at DOP. We dive deep into the concept of Selective Transparency, the friction traditional companies face in adopting blockchain, and how partnerships with zkMe and Chainalysis are helping bridge the trust gap.

We’re also joined by Ziv, DOP’s Head of Marketing, who shares the broader vision of how DOP is communicating and positioning blockchain privacy in a time of AI regulation, data sovereignty, and enterprise hesitancy.
