Q2 2025 set the tone for a defiant and determined year. From funding over 80 privacy projects to growing our own ecosystem of tools, events, and people, we leaned into boldness, collaboration, and creative resistance. Web3Privacy Now is evolving from a signal into a structure. Here’s everything we made happen this Q2.

Protect Your Privacy & Elevate Your Style!
Q2 was just the beginning. What started as a whisper, “privacy matters”, is becoming a collective, coordinated signal. One that’s now building tools, shaping culture, and distributing resources in defiance of surveillance capitalism. We're not just resisting; we’re building new defaults. From memes to meetups, from research to raves, Web3Privacy Now is where privacy becomes a shared practice, not a product or a feature. Thank you to everyone who contributed, supported, showed up, built, shitposted, or cared.
See you in Q3. Stay human. Encrypt everything.
