Privacy Under Fire

Privacy Under Fire

What does real privacy in Web3 look like?

In this episode of Privacy Now, I sit down with Ameen Soleimani, the founder of PrivacyPools.com and 0xbow and Matej Janez, Head of BD at Oasis, to explore what comes after Tornado Cash, and why privacy is a public good worth fighting for.


We dive into:

  • The evolution from Tornado Cash to Privacy Pools
  • The injustice facing Roman Storm & Alexey Pertsev
  • What “ethical privacy infrastructure” actually means
  • Ameen’s friendship with Vitalik & values as a builder
  • Privacy as a public good, decentralization, and building under pressure


With Roman Storm’s trial beginning this week, this episode could not come at a more crucial moment.


Subscribe and listen now to hear why Ameen believes privacy isn’t just a right , it’s the foundation of a truly decentralized world.
