What Our Community Says
Web3Privacy is a reminder that cypherpunk values still matter, and that a better world is possible.
Their side events at conferences have been the best gathering points for like-minded folks and organizations. Join them in the fight against surveillance.
Really glad advocacy groups like Web3Privacy exist. Now more than ever, we need people spreading awareness about the disappearance of privacy and bringing others into the cause. They're doing a tremendous job at this.
I appreciate Web3 Privacy Now for upholding Cypherpunk values, which are at the core of the Web3 movement. In a space increasingly influenced by hyper-financialization, having an organization dedicated to principles that distinguish Web3 from Wall Street serves as a crucial guiding light.
Thank you so much Web3Privacy for leading the way to make space for these core values to shine through onchain.
Web3Privacy has provided an umbrella for builders in the space, where we can not only find each other through a list of great projects but also have had many gatherings to network and connect giving rise to wild collabs.
Privacy is a right of every human being, not a privilege. It's very important that there's such a great project as Web3Privacy and today it's turning 2 years old! Happy Birthday!
A community I am part of, Web3Privacy now, has its 2 years birthday today! Privacy and data sovereignty are values I continuously stand for daily, especially through building Rotki. In the team of Web3Privacy now I found like-minded people, friends and comrades. Happy birthday!
W3N reminds us daily of why we are here. Privacy—a basic human right—beats at the heart of the cypherpunk ethos, the essence of everything worth building. Their conferences are a gathering place for the mad ones, the dreamers, the rebels who see the world as it could be. They bring together the lunarpunks, the uncompromising builders, the visionaries, and the long-term thinkers. These are my people, our people, creating a future that remembers what matters.
I think what you do in holding a space for the question of freedom, digital privacy and direct action is of greatly importance, specially today. As the politics of our world sink deeper into fascism, creating counter infrastructures and technologies that preserve people's autonomy and the freedom to reveal information will be vital for the resistance.
I've been developing, lurking and partying around crypto for 15 years now and remember clearly there were some people worth knowing and making friends. The blockchain hype has been terrible because it flooded the space with obnoxious situations and a load of sociopaths, while interest in the most popular value proposition never faded: privacy for everyone and lower liability when running collective infrastructure. It has been a fine ride all the way, I just missed the part where we were making new interesting friendships. Thanks to web3privacy it is now back, and for this I am very grateful to this genuine community and its ways to keep alive the heartbeat of the real crypto movement.
Over the last two years, I mostly stepped away from crypto events, feeling disconnected from the nihilistic, short-term focus dominating much of the space. While I still believe in the tech's potential for net-positive use cases, the focus on hyper-speculation wasn't something I could get excited about. So, I focused on the work we do with Radicle and Drips, ignoring the rest. Then, almost a year ago, I found Web3PrivacyNow. They managed to amplify the cypherpunk voice within the cryptocurrency space, proving it's not just alive but growing stronger. There is a thriving, principled community in crypto that it's worth contributing to. Today it's their 2nd birthday. Happy Birthday, Web3PrivacyNow! 🎉 Your mission is more important now than ever.
The whole narrative of web3 especially during global events was just about blockchains before Web3PrivacyNow. Over the last two years, Web3Privacy collective has built mainstream awareness about the essence of privacy and cypherpunk ethos in the Web3 ecosystem.
Having an identity to rally around is critical for change. In 2 years, web3privacy now has become that identity for the importance of privacy in all forms.
Managing in a very real way to not only create and expand the tent of those involved in privacy development, but buy up and update the Cypherpunk ethos and what it means to work on meaningful parallel technologies. Spreading the message and bringing back cultural hacking and subversion. Basically the only good parties in crypto and all around great ethos and crew.
Happy birthday to Web3 Privacy Now! You are incredibly important as an independent industry body - with research projects and reports providing an essential overview and benchmarking of development of Web3 privacy software. Continue your good work of undoing the surveillance driven digital economy and advocating for privacy as a fundamental human right!
Web3 provides a mechanism for intelligent cooperation among distributed entities; and central to the realisation of this vision, is the ability to do so privately. I am grateful to w3pn for creating a platform for building, discussing, and advocating in this problem space.
Privacy, censorship resistance, and verifiability are core to digital human rights—and essential for a more open, fair internet. Web3Privacy fights for these values, building tools and advocacy that give people real agency online. At Protocol Labs, we're proud to support their work. It's a critical part of creating systems that serve humanity, not control it. Happy 2nd birthday!
I've had the pleasure of watching this community develop over the last 2 years and participated in 3 of their events. Every one of them has had a unique vibe with deep critical thinking on the nature of the industry, with a strong practical advocacy for privacy technologies. The cypherpunk ethos is returning to crypto and I think this is in no small part down to the hard work of @nicksvyaznoy, @PG_CDG and the rest of the @web3privacy team, who are all genuinely welcoming and wonderful people. Follow them, support them, make sure to get to the future events!
