L2BEAT Launches New Framework to Evaluate Privacy Protocols

Analytics platform L2BEAT has introduced a new section dedicated to evaluating privacy protocols based on technical decentralization and trust assumptions rather than traditional metrics like TVL. The platform assesses 11 solutions against five distinct adversary profiles, ranging from passive blockchain observers to state-level actors capable of coercing operators. No single protocol currently offers protection against all five threat levels, with projects like Zcash, Privacy Pools, and Railgun adopting different structural trade-offs.
