Ethereum Foundation Hosts Inaugural Workshop on Privacy-Preserving Technologies
The Ethereum Foundation is taking a major step towards strengthening user data protection within its network by hosting the inaugural Workshop on Privacy-Preserving Technologies (WPPT) in December 2026, Hong Kong.
The event marks a deliberate push by the foundation to bring together researchers and developers working on privacy technologies such as zero-knowledge proofs, multiparty computation, and private identity systems.
A formal call for presentations has been issued, with abstract submissions due by September 25, 2026. The workshop is built around three core pillars of privacy engineering: zero-knowledge proofs, multiparty computation, and private identity systems.
The Ethereum Foundation is positioning itself to lead conversations around privacy solutions at a moment when the topic carries real weight across the blockchain space.
