Ethereum’s Privacy Upgrade

Episode notes
Visit the Crypto News Today website
Ethereum developers are reviewing 66 proposals for the network’s future Hegotá upgrade, including changes designed to improve privacy, censorship resistance and transaction inclusion.
In today’s Daily Crypto Roundup, we examine what these proposals could mean for Ethereum’s long-term position as the leading settlement layer for decentralized finance and tokenized real-world assets.
We also cover the SafePal customer-data breach that exposed the names, addresses and contact details of nearly 40,000 hardware-wallet customers. SafePal says private keys, recovery phrases, passwords and payment information were not compromised, but the leaked information could still make affected users targets for sophisticated phishing attacks.
DefiLlama has also warned users about fake mobile applications impersonating its platform, reminding cryptocurrency holders that appearing in an official app store does not automatically make an application safe.
