# ⌬ Privacy Annual Report 2023
|
|
|
|
Following our [Privacy Market Overview](https://github.com/web3privacy/web3privacy/blob/main/Market%20overview/Privacy%20market%20outlook%20in%20Web3%20by%20Mykola%20Siusko%20(Jan%202023).pdf)(Jan 2023) we intend to produce an Annual Report to showcase privacy's state of the art.
|
|
|
|
The idea consist into structure the overall picture of the web3-privacy market exploring hundreds of independent companies and their connections with the potential for unity and collaboration.
|
|
|
|
### Why is it important now?
|
|
Regulators actively centralise the market. Moreover, while multiple agents are watching you, exchanges and wallets give you a sense of freedom of choice ("to KYC or not to KYC"). Analytics companies own & use your data without permission. Leaked news about the regulation of private cryptocurrencies and the Tornado Cash sanctions are a clear examples of why privacy needs advocacy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Let's stop fighing each other for the best feature, protocol or chain and find common ground to build a better web. Together.

Privacy is a top priority in the era of web, an essential human right. Drived by this we are creating a platform to help the general public understand whether a web3-service is private or not.
|
|
|
|
To do so we are therefore creating a unique scoring mechanism (both professional & communal) to provide unbiased tools for assessing projects & helping users.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Scoring mechanism:
|
|
We are working on a unique privacy scoring mechanism & create a tool with the help of privacy experts from the Ethereum Foundation, NYM and others while building on the experiene of active members from both solar and lunarpunk communities.
|
|
|
|
Professional scoring would be a joint R&D with the key web3 people from protocol architects to security specialists. This will help to create an unbiased take from scratch & enabling a transparent working process, accessible to everyone via a forum.
|
|
|
|
In parallel to the top-down scorecard method, we'll develop and implement a bottom-up community scoring platform too (think of Metacritic exters + users scorings) -> at the end of the day it's the users who have to become the real watchdogs of the industry, signaling about flaws and shortcomings of solutions.
|
|
|
|
We interviewed 100 privacy players & gathered an MVP vision — we are running a series of 1-on-1 feedback loop sessions to make the scoring model community validated.
