Future developments

**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](https://docs.web3privacy.info/research/scoring-model/)

**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](https://jobs.web3privacy.info/) & [News](https://news.web3privacy.info/) landings.  
Meaning that 1 project will have constant update: vacancies, latest news & so on.
