Privacy 2.0's use of privacy enhancing technologies (PETs) – trusted execution environments (TEEs), multi-party computation (MPC), and fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) – to enable private, reusable data for collaborative computation, promises interoperable use cases like World ID's portable identity. Though current PET implementations face trust, efficiency, and standardization challenges, their advancement could unlock a new wave of privacy-driven blockchain innovation.
