Spotlight
The team at @silentdao_ is continuing to develop their revolutionary new on-chain privacy architecture… which is essentially meant to be a middleware privacy/encryption layer:
“Silent Protocol is building the ghost layer, a modular layer 1.5 providing compliant privacy built on the EZEE framework to become that structured playground for institutions and retail users that can provide compliant, secure and privacy preserving access to ethereum native and cross chain liquidity along with enabling access to applications.”
Our editor @rektdiomedes is helping bang the drum about everything @silentdao_ is working on, so make sure to follow them on Twitter for more updates and check out the great thread on them from @kenodnb below!
