Listen Later

Henry de Valence, one of the deepest thinkers of privacy and the founder of Penumbra joins the podcast for a comprehensive discussion on privacy. Can Gurel, a research lead at Delphi Digital, joins as a co-host given his recent in-depth Privacy report

In this episode, we covered:

  • The importance of privacy for humans and in crypto
  • Financial privacy as a human right
  • The limits of what can be built on a fully transparent chain
  • Different ways teams deal with regulation in the ever-evolving crypto landscape
  • Whether we can expect most liquidity to be in private form in the next 5-10 years
  • In the technical segment, we dove into various infrastructures of private design, including privacy built on L1s, L2s, dApps and via smart contracts like Tornado Cash. We discussed Penumbra's unique two-phase protocol for privacy vs. concurrent-access-to-state and the potential of threshold decryption as a go-to MEV solution. Our conversation also covered private staking designs, challenges with IBC, and the exciting possibilities enabled by interchain accounts with Penumbra.
