summary

Panel argues privacy tools are advancing but messy: plonk eliminates trusted setups for zk proofs, NuCypher uses threshold proxy re‑encryption to separate policy from encryption, Orchid ships a decentralized VPN, and Zcash explores transparent script extensions and zero‑knowledge payment channels. Practical failures include mixer linkage via timing, ENS naming deanonymizing funds, and weak anonymity incentives in Tornado Cash liquidity mining. Usability and education gaps — not just crypto primitives — now determine whether these builds actually protect users.
