Yesterday was my final day at the Ethereum Foundation. Today, we’re launching @eth_systems . I started my career at @GoldmanSachs , working inside the financial system. Years later, I found myself at the @ethereumfndn , working with institutions exploring how that system could evolve onchain. I’ve had hundreds of conversations with banks, asset managers, central banks and regulators around the world about what it would take to build real financial infrastructure on Ethereum. The ambition is there. But nearly every serious conversation eventually reaches the same question: how can institutions use a public network without exposing their positions, counterparties and sensitive client information? EthSystems exists to answer that question. We’re continuing the work we began through the Ethereum Foundation’s Institutional Privacy Task Force as an independent company building confidential systems for institutional Ethereum.
