Vitalik Buterin, the so-called “crypto prophet” and Ethereum co-founder, decided that we all need more privacy in our digital lives-because, apparently, we don’t have enough already. The man, who’s apparently too busy thinking up ways to disrupt finance, says end-to-end encrypted messaging is the key to saving our digital souls. And, to be honest, he’s probably right. Who doesn’t want their messages to stay private? He pointed to some projects, Session and SimpleX, as the torchbearers in this sacred mission. Oh, and by the way, he’s generously gifted a whopping 128 ETH to each of them-because why not drop a few million bucks when you’re saving the world?
Major ETH Donations (Because Why Not?)
In a post on X (formerly Twitter, but let’s face it, who’s keeping track anymore?), Buterin declared that both apps are working tirelessly to keep things decentralized and user-protected. They’re not using phone numbers, because apparently, the world is now allergic to phone numbers. Plus, they’re tackling “multi-device support” and “resistance to Sybil attacks”-whatever those are. Sounds fancy, right? Buterin’s message: ‘Help us, developers, you’re our only hope!’ He added that while the platforms aren’t perfect, they’re making real strides. And who doesn’t love an underdog story?
Now, let’s talk about Signal, the encrypted messaging app that everyone uses to tell their best friend what they had for lunch. Despite its popularity, Signal got some bad press after an embarrassing slip-up in March, when US national security folks accidentally included a reporter in a group chat about military strikes. Oops! The Pentagon immediately warned against using it for anything non-public, citing a “vulnerability.” So, naturally, Buterin comes in to save the day with his ETH donations. That’ll fix it, right?
Buterin’s Privacy Push (Because Privacy is Sexy)
Buterin, clearly a man on a mission, has been preaching privacy all year long. He’s like the digital hygiene guru we didn’t know we needed. After a cyberattack exposed client info from major US banks like JPMorgan and Citi, Buterin was all like, ‘See, I told you privacy is vital.’ He’s argued that privacy is the bedrock of decentralization, like a nice, sturdy foundation for a house made of crypto. In an essay this April, he laid out a roadmap for Ethereum to support stealth addresses and zero-knowledge tools to keep data from leaking like a sieve.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get more intense, Buterin recently took aim at X’s new geo-inference system, which assigns country labels to user accounts. Because, you know, revealing someone’s location can be as risky as posting your home address on the dark web. He warned that even broad regional info can be used to expose vulnerable users. Guess who’s here to save the day? That’s right, Vitalik, with his generous ETH drops and relentless crusade for privacy!
