A comprehensive research project and database mapping the privacy-enhancing solutions ecosystem in Web3.
Web3Privacy Now is an open research initiative focused on building a comprehensive culture and ecosystem of privacy in Web3. It provides the most extensive and continuously updated database of privacy-enhancing projects, protocols, and tools across multiple categories such as DeFi, wallets, infrastructure, Layer 2 solutions, decentralized identity, messaging, and more. The project aggregates data from public sources and community contributions to map the evolving landscape of privacy technologies in blockchain and decentralized applications.
The platform includes a front-end explorer dashboard (https://explorer.web3privacy.info) and a data repository hosted on GitHub (https://github.com/web3privacy/explorer-data) where developers and researchers can contribute by submitting new projects or updating existing entries. It covers a wide range of privacy-related technologies including zero-knowledge proofs, confidential computing, mixing protocols, privacy-preserving blockchains, and decentralized VPNs. The database is agnostic and does not endorse or validate projects but serves as a research and discovery tool to help developers, product teams, and analysts understand the privacy ecosystem.
Web3Privacy Now stands out by its breadth and depth, cataloging over 750 privacy projects with detailed metadata such as product readiness, audit status, ecosystem compatibility, and team transparency. It supports collaboration through open-source contributions and provides guidelines for adding or updating project information. This makes it a valuable resource for anyone building or integrating privacy features in Web3 applications, enabling informed decisions and fostering innovation in privacy technologies. Users can get started by exploring the dashboard or contributing via GitHub following the provided documentation and templates.
The Web3 ecosystem lacks a centralized, comprehensive resource that maps and categorizes the diverse and rapidly evolving privacy-enhancing technologies. Developers and researchers face challenges in discovering, comparing, and understanding privacy solutions across multiple blockchain networks and application domains.
User-friendly front-end interface to browse and filter privacy projects by category, ecosystem, and status.
GitHub-hosted data repository with structured YAML files for each project, supporting easy edits and additions.
Projects are organized into categories such as DeFi, wallets, infrastructure, Layer 2, DID, messaging, and more.
Researchers use the database to study trends, identify gaps, and analyze the maturity of privacy solutions across Web3.
Developers and product teams explore privacy projects to find suitable tools and protocols for integration into their dapps.
Community members contribute updates and new projects to maintain an accurate and comprehensive privacy ecosystem map.
