Welcome to the Ethereum Foundation Handbook

Whether you want to understand how interoperability works, build with the tooling we've developed, figure out why some standards take off and others don't, or are curious about privacy on Ethereum, this guide is for you.

Ethereum is a decentralized network where anyone can build applications and move value without intermediaries, where interoperability and privacy are areas we're looking to improve. This handbook shows you how.

You'll find:

  • An overview of interoperability on Ethereum
  • Standards and tooling for chain-specific addresses and cross-chain operations
  • Research into why some EIPs succeed and others don't
  • A privacy toolkit for wallets, covering trust assumptions and privacy pools

This is a living document. It grows as the work evolves.
