Crypto Companions: The PET ecosystem (MPC / FHE / TEE & ZK)
A primer into the history of cryptography and the web3 PET ecosystem. Recently I have been diving into MPC, FHE, TEE and ZK and wanted to consolidate my learnings under one wider category of Privacy Enhancing technologies (PETs). I got into web3 due to the appeal of the cypherpunk movement and financial decentralization but with the recent interest of AI and open communication being punished (i.e. Telegram), there is an increasing need for privacy and using PETs to make the world more equitab...

The Web3 Passport Stack
Over the past few months, I have been deep diving into web3 passports and testing as many as possible. I’m starting to realize a common pattern of how they are all built and have been trying to figure out what components make up a passport/wallet. In this piece I will be dissecting the web3 passport stack, with a particular focus on mobile wallets. I also replaced the word “wallets” with passports for this article. I believe protocols such as Ethereum Name Service (ENS), Lens Protocol, Disco ...
