Kusama Shield Release 50 is live. It now supports over 200 wallets and introduces new ZK logic enabling transaction unlinkability and stronger privacy guarantees. With v2 funding approved, the 2026 roadmap is now in motion with a full security audit scheduled for Q2.
Kusama Referendum 631, if passed, will top up Bounty 32, which funds RFP #1 - Shielded Kusama Hub Transfers. If passed, 10.7K KSM will be allocated to advance Kusama Shield to v2, a stable release adding features such as MetaMask support and anonymous gifting, additionally targeting inclusion in Ethereum’s upcoming Kohaku privacy SDK.
