ZKsync Prividiums: Cryptographic Compliance Meets Privacy

Privacy and compliance don't have to conflict.​ ZKsync's Prividiums use modern cryptography to enable both simultaneously through private onchain infrastructure.​

Key features:

  • Compliance enforced cryptographically, not through trust
  • Private enterprise-controlled chains with Ethereum settlement
  • Role-based access controls combined with zero-knowledge proofs
  • Controlled disclosures allow compliance demonstration without exposing confidential data

Over 30 institutions including Citi and Deutsche Bank are exploring this infrastructure for tokenized deposits, enabling near-instant cross-border settlement with zero public data exposure.​

Rocket Pool Launches Saturn One Upgrade with 4 ETH Validators

Rocket Pool has successfully deployed Saturn One, its largest protocol upgrade, on Ethereum mainnet on February 18, 2026.​

Key features now live:

  • RPL fee switch - Staked RPL tokens now earn ETH revenue, with potential validator commission rates exceeding 20% for above-average stakers
  • 4 ETH validators - Reduced capital requirements improve efficiency and boost yields for node operators
  • MEGAPOOLs - Streamlined validator design reduces gas costs
  • rETH improvements - Enhanced withdrawal buffer and increased minting capacity improve liquidity

The upgrade maintains Rocket Pool's position as Ethereum's only fully permissionless liquid staking protocol, operating without reliance on centralized infrastructure like AWS.​

Node operators must update to Smart Node v1.​19.​2 or later to access new features.​ The deposit pool currently holds over $30 million in ETH ready for MEGAPOOL validators.​
