Bitcoinist features Applied Blockchain and Silent Data in an article exploring the future of Ethereum privacy, compliance, and institutional adoption — highlighting how privacy-enhancing technologies layered into modular blockchain architectures can help meet GDPR requirements without compromising decentralisation or user sovereignty.
“A modular approach makes a lot of sense, and this is an interesting proposal that offers a potential path forward for European institutions seeking to interact with public chains without breaching privacy regulations. If successful, it could reduce the compliance burden for many participants in the ecosystem, without compromising user sovereignty,” said Adi Ben-Ari, Founder and CEO of Applied Blockchain.
