what's WORM (EIP-7503)?
WORM is a privacy-focused protocol on the Ethereum blockchain, designed to enhance user anonymity through innovative mechanisms like meta-privacy, where the use of privacy tools themselves can be concealed. It builds on Ethereum Improvement Proposal 7503 (EIP-7503), aiming to introduce features that protect transaction privacy without compromising the network's transparency or security. The project emphasizes squared privacy (Privacy²), integrating zero-knowledge proofs and tools like zkMACI for secure, private voting and interactions. WORM conducts incentivized testnets to refine its implementation, fostering community participation in developing robust privacy solutions for decentralized applications.
WORM (EIP-7503) is conducting an ICO on Ethereum via Cypher Industries, $234/NFT, $20k/wallet.
