Infinite Privacy: Cocktail Aperitivo - ZK, FHE or TEE? feat. ZCash, fhenix, ZiskVM (Jordi Baylina), Miden, Bermuda
The Ethereum roadmap envisions end-to-end privacy.
Oak Security has been reinforcing operations, privacy, and security of leading protocols since 2017.
We invite you to an infinite privacy happy hour and lightning talks by industry thought leaders.
How ready is FHE?
How quantum secure is ZK?
What is the state of TEE security?
We will answer these questions with our experts from:
ZCash - Violet & Mylo Bennett
fhenix - Lauren Dutton, Head of DevRel
ZiskVM - Jordi Baylina, Founder
Miden - Dominik Schmid, Founder
Bermuda - Alexander Wilke, CEO & Founder
Panel 1 — Privacy Adoption and Tech - ZK, FHE, or TEE?
A fast-moving conversation on privacy adoption: what is actually working and the biggest hurdles still blocking mainstream use. Expect sharp takes on UX, privacy stigma, developer tooling, security, and why different privacy primitives may win in different contexts.
Panel 2 — Institutional Privacy
A focused discussion on what institutions really need before they move onchain: confidentiality, auditability, selective disclosure, compliance, and operational control. This panel looks at where “perfect privacy” meets messy real-world requirements — and whether imperfect privacy is still enough to unlock adoption.
