+ Our Mission

+ privacy to the Ethereum ecosystems.

+
+ “an open society in the electronic age”
+
+ {
+ "requires privacy that is usable, scalable, and secure. We are a team of applied cryptographers, mathematicians, developers, designers, and coordinators working to embed programmable cryptography into Ethereum's application layer and make privacy accessible to developers."
+ }{" "}
+
+ Privacy is a cornerstone of freedom and an{" "}
+
+ important guarantor for decentralization.
+
+ We envision a future where digital infrastructure respects privacy
+ by default, and permissions are purpose-specific, informed,
+ uncoerced, and revocable.We envision a future where digital

+ Our History
+
+
+ We began in 2018 as Applied ZKP, a team supported by the Ethereum
+ Foundation to push zero-knowledge proofs from theory to practice.
+ In 2021, we became Privacy & Scaling Explorations (PSE), expanding
+ our scope to programmable cryptography and tools across the stack.
+ In 2025, we refined our mission as Privacy Stewards for Ethereum,
+ shifting our focus toward ecosystem impact.

- "Cryptography is everywhere: every time you connect to a secure site, log in with a password or unlock your phone, you're seeing cryptography in action. With 'programmable' cryptography (like zero knowledge proofs, multi-party computation or homomorphic encryption) we can make verifiable claims about secret information without revealing the information itself.",
- " This can be applied to identity management, collusion resistance, anonymous communication and so much more.
