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.EventsFunding the CommonsCollaborated with Funding the CommonsSpoke at the main event x PGModerated panel: Isabela Fernandez x Tor, Julio Linares x Poetic Technologies, Kassandra.eth, Liz Steininger x Least Authority, Matan x Ethereum Foundation, moderated by PG & Mykola Siusko x Web3Privacy nowW3PN HacksDisruptive hackathon re-defining productive approach to collective tech-imaginaries: anti-bounty, interdisciplinary mentors beyond techies, non-technical bounties, not focused on specific protocol, but problems to be solved.

Shop | SpreadshopProtect Your Privacy & Elevate Your Style!https://web3privacy.myspreadshop.netQ2 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. 🖤 W3PN collective
