We recently released Privacy adversaries, which shows which adversaries each privacy protocol protects you from.
Every protocol page has a detailed section, where each rating comes with advice on what a careful user can do to stay private.
Here's are some of the top advices ๐

The current state:
Only 2 of 11 protocols - @TornadoCash and @RAILGUN_Project - are green against every adversary that exists today.
The privileged insider is where 7 of the rest break.
@zama opened deposits into 16 confidential Morpho vaults on Ethereum, plus a confidential swap protocol.
These are now included in the TVL breakdown on L2BEAT.
Zamaโs TVL increased by 35.5% over the past week, to $74M.

Onchain security is essential for all of @ethereum and L2s.
@thedaofund just launched their Round 2 dedicated to ETHSecurity Initiatives to propose, fund, and build open security work.
Glad to see initiatives like this!

Onchain security is everyoneโs problem and nobodyโs job.
ETHSecurity Initiatives is how we are changing that.
Propose the work. Fund the work. Build the work.

๐ฆด Weโre working on L2BEATโs Ossification Score ๐ฆด
A metric for how code matures (hardens into bone ๐ฆด) as it secures value over time.
Before we ship it, weโre publishing the methodology + dataset for feedback.
Please attack it ๐ช๐๐

Weโve added @staycloakedxyz to L2BEAT! ๐ก๏ธ
Cloaked is a wallet service that separates incoming payments across fresh Ethereum addresses while presenting them as one account using stealth addresses and ENS.

Opening L2BEAT will look different as of today because we have a new Home page! ๐
We cover a lot more than L2s now - interop, privacy, ZK, and the new page pulls the most important parts of all of it into one screen.
Here's what you'll find ๐

New project on the L2BEAT Privacy page: @UmbraCash ๐
Umbra is the first stealth-address protocol on our dashboard. Itโs used for payments and hides the recipient behind a fresh address for every transfer.
~$128M has already moved through it. Here are the details ๐

๐ฆ @RobinhoodApp Chain: $834M secured (+11.6%)
๐ @arbitrum topped Interop volume: 44% of all cross-chain volume in 24h
๐ @modenetwork led activity growth at +203%
and more ๐

Public goods need public support, and initiatives like the @thedaofund QF round on @Giveth matter more than most people realize.
We participated in the latest round, and here's our update on how those funds are being put to work. ๐

One of the ideas we're most excited about: native proof verification.
Native rollups are just one application of it.
@donnoh_eth breaks it down at @JoinFutura ๐
The security of a trusted setup depends on its participants: if all of them colluded, arbitrary proofs could be forged. A single honest contributor makes that impossible.
You can support Privacy Pools today by contributing your entropy and spreading the word to get the participant count up ๐

A perp DEX differs from a CEX if it delivers two things: property rights over your collateral, and verifiable execution.
We spent some time looking into how @Lighter_xyz and @HyperliquidX actually hold up against both. The answer is more nuanced than either camp wants you to believe. ๐งต

dYdX's team is building on Ethereum again - this time as @arcus_xyz, a DEX on Robinhood Chain.
Happy to welcome them back to the Ethereum ecosystem and excited to see what one of DeFi's most experienced teams will bring to it!

dYdX is now Arcus.
A leading DEX on Robinhood Chain.
24/7 trading on 95 stock tickers with 0% fees, and liquidity from top institutional market-makers.
Huge congrats to @RobinhoodApp and @Offchain on Robinhood Chain mainnet going live ๐, and shoutout to the teams already shipping on day one!
Companies choosing to build on Ethereum is the trend we love to see.
Our assessment of Robinhood Chain is coming soon, stay tuned ๐

Congrats to @ethereuminsti on the launch!
Ethereumโs institutional adoption needs focused engagement, practical guidance, and someone to point them toward the CROPS-aligned integrations that a neutral foundation makes possible.
Great to see a team dedicated to that work!

Last week at @JoinFutura, @donnoh hosted a panel on Rollups Beyond Scalability.
Hereโs what panelists Ben from @arbitrum, Paul from @Celo, and Igor from @gateway_eth think about the purpose of L2s and the role of the L1.
Link to the full panel in the comments!

Aztec Labs' @aztecnetwork is now fully permissionless! This makes it more autonomous, resilient, permissionless, and arguably less secure than before.
Wait what?
Silence, vibe-dashboarders! Today, L2BEAT releases the Privacy page.
We visited Ethereum's privacy protocols and scrutinized their CROPS ๐ฝ.
For the first time, all ZK circuits used by Lighter perp DEX L2 were regenerated from sources by L2BEAT!
Now you donโt have to trust the Lighter team to perform a permissionless emergency exit.
