Ethereum's new proposal: Achieving GDPR compliance through a modular architecture while maintaining Decentralization

Ethereum community member Eugenio Reggianini presented a new proposal on June 9 that aims to make the Ethereum network compliant with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) through (PETs) modular architecture and privacy-enhancing technologies. while maintaining decentralization. The proposal proposes to push personal data to ( edges of the network to wallets and DApps), employ off-chain storage and metadata erasure technologies, and segment roles cryptographically, thereby concentrating GDPR controller responsibilities on a small number of entities. The technical roadmap includes a variety of privacy protection schemes, such as proto-danksharding(EIP-4844), zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs), fully homomorphic encryption, Trusted Execution Environment (TEEs), etc. The proposal also divides the Ethereum network into an execution, consensus, and data availability layer to better manage GDPR compliance. The success of the framework will depend on community adoption, developer support, and coordination with EU regulators.
