United in privacy is our approach to alignment between different players, from the Tor Project to the Ethereum Foundation. Events like Cypherpunk Congress #2 with speakers from Electronic Frontier Foundation or Brave, Cypherpunk Retreat with 100 tech leaders from Bluesky to Internet Archive prove that the cypherpunk ethos is alive and evolving.

2025 - the year of care. Towards liberating privacy. Together.
