Introducing Authena:
The largest privacy-preserving network of humans.
Built under @FairDAO_io. Formerly Intract PoH.

While you’re building the future, bots are stealing it.
90% of web3 activity isn’t even human.

It’s time to fix that. https://t.co/dyYzYxO24r

💥 Stablecoin privacy is almost here 💥

Privacy Pools is adding support for $USDT, $USDC, and $DAI - bringing stablecoin privacy to Ethereum.

More assets. More privacy. https://t.co/l9v4rFWoRf

gm Ethereum ☀,

🔒Privacy Pools just got a little more secure, a little more usable, and a lot more reliable.  three changes:
- seed confirmation upon registration
- blurred paste for seed
- changes to relayer fees

these all affect users, so let’s run through it 👇 https://t.co/Sbn03ufan5

It's time to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Ethereum!

@ShutterNetwork, @EthCC &amp; @ProtocolGuild invite the entire Ethereum ecosystem to leave a permanent mark on-chain with the Ethereum Time Capsule.

Preserve the Past, Protect the Future.

Live NOW!
