Ethereum Foundation Hosts First-Ever Privacy Workshop in Hong Kong This December

The Ethereum Foundation is taking steps to address one of the biggest challenges facing blockchain technology, privacy. The foundation has announced its first-ever Workshop on Privacy-Preserving Technologies, scheduled for December in Hong Kong.

The workshop will focus on three key areas: zero-knowledge proofs, multiparty computation, and private identity systems. These technologies are crucial for protecting sensitive data on blockchain networks.

The Ethereum Foundation is calling for presentations from researchers and developers working on these topics, with abstracts due by September 25, 2026. The goal of the workshop is to bring together experts from across the Ethereum ecosystem to collaborate and advance privacy research.
