Zcash Meets Ethereum

What if Zcash and Ethereum had a child?

Howard Wu, the creator of Aleo, compares his blockchain to that. Aleo is made to be private by design, in contrast to the majority of layer-1 networks that are public by default, revealing all user balances and transactions.

Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), a potent cryptographic engine at its heart, enable transactions to be verified without disclosing private information.

Wu recently discussed why privacy is not a luxury but rather a necessary component of payments in the future.

He also explained how Aleo is different from other privacy currencies like Ethereum and Solana and why programmable compliance is essential for widespread adoption.

This isn’t another push for blockchain. It serves as a model for how financial privacy may be incorporated into digital payments on par with encryption in web browsing.

Today’s inflation report was a dour reminder that UK inflation remains entrenched. CPI for August was unchanged at 3.8% y/y, matching the consensus and its highest level since January 2024. Airfares decreased but this was offset by food and petrol prices. Monthly, CPI rose 0.3%, up from 0.1% in July and matching the consensus. Core CPI, which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, eased to 3.6% from 3.8%. Monthly, core CPI ticked up to 0.3% from 0.2%. The inflation report comes just a day before the Bank of England announces its rate decision.
