Builder Nights Germany: Vitalik Buterin Champions ZK and Privacy for Ethereum’s Future
It was a packed house at Builder Nights 🇩🇪 as Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin opened the event by sharing his vision for the future of zero-knowledge (ZK) technology and privacy on Ethereum. Buterin emphasized that ZK proofs will be essential for scaling Ethereum and making privacy a default feature, not just an option.
Following Vitalik, Zac Williamson (Aztec) and Florian Huber discussed the rapid evolution of ZK infrastructure. They highlighted how new protocols are making it easier for developers to build privacy-preserving applications, and why user privacy should be standard in the next generation of blockchain apps.
The event showcased the growing momentum around ZK tech in the Ethereum ecosystem, with builders and thought leaders aligning on privacy as a core value for Web3’s future.
