# web3privacy **Web3privacy** - a research project aimed to discover, highlight & analyze privacy-preservation services and startups within the Web3 space. ![alt text](https://github.com/Msiusko/web3privacy/blob/main/Logo.png?raw=true) **Note!** It's important to highlight projects at the different stages of development (from ideation to ecosystem scaling). This means some privacy-centric solutions could go via fundraising points within their roadmap. This creates gaps between mature & forthcoming privacy solutions (especially when 9 out of 10 startups fail). That's why it's essential to let all privacy-preserved ideas be heard within the Web3 space. And give them an equal opportunity to succeed. ## DeFi - [Shade](https://shadeprotocol.io) - Shade Protocol is an array of connected privacy-preserving DeFi applications built on Secret Network. - [Silent protocol](https://www.silentprotocol.org) - Silent Protocol is the first protocol enabling compliant full-stack privacy for smart contract assets and web3 applications at scale. - [XATA](https://www.xata.fi) - A MEV Minimization solution to survive the Dark Forest - [Sienna Network](https://sienna.network) - Sienna is a privacy-first and cross-chain decentralized finance platform where you can privately swap, lend and convert your tokens into their private equivalent. - [Elusiv](https://elusiv.io) - Create blockchain privacy solutions that are built for everyday transactions — with the power of scalable ZK infrastructure on Solana. - [Offshift](https://www.offshift.io) - Offshift’s proprietary Shifting mechanism allows users to Shift between our native token, XFT, and a full palette of private synthetics. - [CAPE](https://www.espressosys.com/product) - Configurable Asset Privacy for Ethereum - [Evanesco](https://evanesco.org) - A financial protocol platform that combines Layer0 network infrastructure with a private computing framework. - [Dusk Network](https://dusk.network) - Is technology for securities.
