Ethereum proposes a privacy roadmap that complies with the EU General Data Protection Regulation "
The Internet reported that Ethereum community member Eugenio Reggianini proposed a new proposal on June 9, aiming to make the Ethereum network compliant with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) through modular architecture and privacy enhanced technologies (PETs), while maintaining decentralization. The proposal recommends pushing personal data to the edge of the network (wallets and DApps), adopting off-chain storage and metadata erasure technology, and dividing roles through encryption, thereby concentrating GDPR controller responsibilities on a few entities. The technology roadmap includes multiple privacy protection solutions, such as proto-danksharding(EIP-4844), zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs), fully homomorphic encryption, trusted execution environments (TEEs), etc. The proposal also divides the Ethereum network into an execution layer, a consensus layer, and a data availability layer to better manage GDPR compliance. The success of the framework will depend on community adoption, developer support and coordination with EU regulators.
