Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has just donated over $760,000 in Ether to two projects he says are pushing digital privacy forward.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has disclosed a donation of approximately $760,000 in Ether to two crypto messaging apps that he views as pushing the boundaries of digital privacy.
Encrypted messaging apps, like Signal, are “important for preserving our digital privacy,” Buterin said in an X post on Wednesday, adding the next steps for the space should be permissionless account creation and metadata privacy.
Decentralized messaging apps Session and SimpleX Chat are “pushing these directions forward,” Buterin said, adding that he “donated 128 ETH to each” and encouraged users to try them.
