Buterin published a roadmap with three native privacy upgrades for Ethereum: account abstraction, FOCIL, and keyed nonces. The initiatives aim to make censorship of private transactions harder and prevent node providers from centralizing user data. Privacy-focused projects like Zcash and Monero have posted gains above 800% and 100% respectively since early 2025.
