Contribution Title

Shutter Community Integration at Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress by Web3Privacy Now in Mumbai 2026.

Description of Contribution

This contribution supports the integration of Shutter into the Web3Privacy ecosystem through communal presence at the Web3Privacy Now Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress (Mumbai 2026).

Rather than a sponsorship, this is framed as community support, embedding Shutter within a high-signal privacy-focused gathering of researchers, builders, and cypherpunks.

Shutter’s encrypted mempool infrastructure addresses a critical challenge in web3; MEV, front-running, and transaction manipulation by ensuring fair and private transaction ordering. However, adoption depends on ecosystem understanding and narrative clarity.

The Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress provides a unique environment to position encrypted mempools as one of the core primitive of the privacy stack.

  • Integrated Shutter into the Web3Privacy Now Explorer, increasing visibility among privacy builders and researchers ( https:// explorer.web3privacy.info/project/shutter-network ).
