Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said on Sept. 20 that he does not see privacy as a dead end and has no intention of stepping away from it. Responding to a question from Paradigm Chief Technology Officer Georgios Konstantopoulos about what room remains for privacy going forward, Buterin said privacy only truly dies when people give up on it. He added that he will not abandon privacy and instead plans to invest even more effort in it. The comment lines up with Buterin’s earlier roadmap update for Ethereum in August, where he identified quantum safety, privacy protection and native Rollups as key priorities for the network’s future direction. The latest remark offers a direct signal that privacy remains part of his long-term focus rather than an area being deprioritized.
