## Summary We announced two major upgrades to Shutter encryption-as-a-service: 1. Permanent Shielded Voting on Snapshot 2. Event-based Decryption Triggers We also see growing support for including encrypted mempools in a future Ethereum Mainnet hardfork: 1. We are nearing completion of our Primev POC 2. We are receiving valuable feedback on our Draft EIP from leading core developers. ## Priorities for T3 2025 Technology - ↗Stable encrypted mempools on Gnosis Chain, ↗POC with Primev or Commit-Boost of encrypted mempools on Ethereum L1, ✅Draft an EIP ref encrypted mempools on Ethereum L1, ↗Integrate Shutter API into dApps. Business - ✅ Stabilize the Keyper Sets, ↗Collect feedback on the EIP ref encrypted mempools on Ethereum L1; Identify future integrations of Shutter API into dApps. MarComs - ✅Refactor communities, Build support for encrypted mempools on Ethereum L1, ↗Experiment with SHU marketing. ## Team FTEs - 0.5 CEO, 0.5 Admin, 1.5 Business, 1 MarComs, 3.75 Developers. ## Keypers Keyper Sets - Gnosis Keypers: 7 Keypers online / 5 active (Threshold 4/7). API Keypers: 11 Keypers online / 10 active (8 external + 3 internal) (Threshold 5/11). Packages - Released new packages for Gnosis Keypers ([Docker](https://github.com/shutter-network/shutter-keyper-deployment/releases/tag/gnosis%2F2025.10.01), [DAppNode](https://dappnode.github.io/explorer/#/repo/0x2706bdac6070445be4f6c12c295f295db6414563/0.1.4)) including the following upgrades: enabling aggregate validator registrations through asset configuration, now possible since all Gnosis Keypers are on the latest release. Keyper Compensation Program - Tracked Keyper uptime and communications. Worked with all Keypers to update software and improve performance. ## Encrypted Mempools Ethereum Mainnet (POC) - [Created the PR for the provider API updates](https://github.com/primev/mev-commit/pull/845) and aligned with Primev on a roadmap towards testnet (November) and mainnet (December) deployments. Ethereum Mainnet (EIPs) - Shared encrypted mempool EIP draft with partners, received feedback and iterated the design, ready to share with a larger group. Gnosis Chain: Testing Erigon v3.1 which includes Shutter support on Gnosis Chain. ## Shutter API Event-based Decryption Triggers: [Announced event-based decryption trigger functionality.](https://x.com/ShutterNetwork/status/1981307457105219589) Preparing first demo use cases and supporting external partners such as Kleros to use this feature. Permanent Shielded Voting for Snapshot: Released the [El-Gamal Shutterized private voting prototype](https://x.com/ShutterNetwork/status/1980544889558560906) on a forked Snapshot UI. Kleros - Continuing to support Kleros in [integrating Shutter API into Kleros V2](https://x.com/Kleros_io/status/1928228874950689234). They released a beta version of the Shutter integration, with a full release scheduled for mid November. ## Cryptography Research Research Grant - Continued work on the government research grant application together with TU Darmstadt and PolyCrypt. Research Post - Released [an analysis into Keyper performance](https://shutternetwork.discourse.group/t/shutterized-optimism-performance-evaluation/764) and stability for the encrypted mempool for OPStack. ## Partner / Developer Support Keyper Compensation Program - Provided observations/recommendations for Keyper performance in September 2025. Encrypted Mempools on Ethereum L1 - Continued researching people involved in the EIP process and decision-making - esp core devs and transaction supply chain actors. State of Private Voting Report - Continued collaboration with PSE on a comprehensive report that will cover the current landscape of private voting technologies and applications. Octant v2 - Supported Octant in proposing a treasury optimization and community growth program. sDAI to sUSDS - Supported community members in preparing a proposal to improve treasury optimization by upgrading sDAI to sUSDS. Sponsorship of Governance Day - Supported SEEDGov in proposing a sponsorship package for Governance Day ARG on Nov 15-16 in Buenos Aires. ## MarComs Website - Created a new page focusing on Shutter DAO 0x36, SHU token, and governance participation.
