We currently rank projects based on that filled-in information with little to no conditional logic. Do you want to help us improve our scoring mechanism?

Web3Privacy NowCan Privacy Be a Public Good (and Still Survive)?
“Trying to raise money for privacy is like selling umbrellas in a drought. You know the rain’s coming, but no one wants to invest until they’re already soaked.”Last week, a collection of builders, donors, and philosophical troublemakers gathered in a virtual bar known as X Spaces to discuss the noble and bewildering task of funding privacy in a world that keeps confusing it with invisibility. With Gavin Birch (Luminara, Namada), Peter Van Valkenburgh (Coin Center), Ben West (Pretty Good OSINT...
Web3Privacy NowPrivacy as Freedom of Behavior
What is privacy?What is privacy, really? I’ve been trying to answer that question for years. As someone who’s worked in communications for 15 years, and now leads the Web3Privacy Now Academy, my job has been to explain complex ideas—often deeply technical ones—to people in a way that makes sense. And yet, even after years inside the privacy space, I still struggle to explain what privacy is in a way that lands. Not just factually, but emotionally. When I talk to people outside the space, I of...

Explorer aka “l2beat for privacy” is an analytical service measuring the state of privacy in web3.
700 privacy-enhancing projects in 1 place. Transparent data. And future scoring: https://explorer.web3privacy.info
Remember, it’s open-source - everyone can update privacy-enhancing projects. Together we can secure maintenance of the Explorer.
Step-by-step guide
1. Open http://explorer.web3privacy.info
2. Search for your project (click on the categories, don’t use search yet - we are updating it)
2.1 Project is listed but needs to be updated
Open your project and click on "edit research" (upper right corner)
Edit your project index.yaml - Firn example
Note: please use our template to add more data (structure) into your index.yaml
*Create a PR *(Pull Request)
Congrats! Once updated - your project data will be available here http://explorer.web3privacy.info
2.2 Project not listed (yet)
a) create a folder with the project name & index.yaml file here: https://github.com/web3privacy/explorer-data/tree/main/src/projects
c) add logo (logo.png) into your project folder
b) copy the template structure into your index.yaml: https://github.com/web3privacy/explorer-data/blob/main/sample-project.yaml
d) ensure that you filled at least the minimum data for your project (first section of the Sample document).
For more details regarding attributes please go to: https://github.com/web3privacy/explorer-data/tree/main
e) Create a PR (Pull request)

Scoring
We will structure projects by Privacy scoring. This will help people to not be scammed & double-check privacy promises behind every project. At the same time it will force organisations to deliver reliable privacy tech.
More on scoring - in the docs
Front-end
We already sketched new version of the front-end with reach filters, granular categories & so on. Will ship it alongside the back-end development & updates.
Our aim is to match specific use-cases like “I want to securely store my files”, “I want to privately send ETH” etc.
News & Jobs sync
In the future Project profile will be in-sync with our Jobs & News landings.
Meaning that 1 project will have constant update: vacancies, latest news & so on.
Keep calm & build solid privacy-enhancing tech. Together.
