ZKsync Launches Prividium: Ethereum Platform for Institutional Privacy and Compliance
ZKsync Launches Prividium: Ethereum Platform for Institutional Privacy and Compliance
🏦 Banks Get Private Ethereum
ZKsync has introduced Prividium, a purpose-built Ethereum platform designed specifically for institutional adoption.
Key Features:
- Privacy-first infrastructure secured by Ethereum
- Built-in compliance capabilities using modern cryptography
- Full institutional control over data and permissions
- Cross-chain connectivity
- Turnkey "Bank Stack" solution with pre-built features
The platform challenges the traditional assumption that privacy and compliance are mutually exclusive. Instead, Prividiums enable both through cryptographic enforcement, allowing institutions to operate private systems while remaining part of the global Ethereum network.
ZKsync positions 2026 as "the year of institutional adoption at scale," with Prividiums offering a pragmatic solution for enterprises entering the onchain economy without compromising on regulatory requirements or data sovereignty.
Treating privacy and compliance as opposites is an outdated assumption. Modern cryptography allows both to coexist. Prividiums were built to enable this future: private onchain infrastructure where compliance is enforced cryptographically.

The Prividium Difference The only Ethereum secured platform purpose-built for Institutions that demand privacy, compliance, and full control of their data.
The bipartisan text for the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act makes one thing clear: compliance and risk management sit at the center of the onchain economy. But compliance without privacy and control is impossible. This is exactly what Prividiums enable: Incorruptible Finance
"2026 will be making privacy the default starting point for enterprise applications. Building and operating private applications on ZKsync will feel natural for dev teams accustomed to enterprise infrastructure." @CPOfficialtx on our 2026 roadmap 👇
"Prividiums are a very pragmatic solution for Institutions who come onchain. It enables them to control where data sits and set necessary rules and permissions for compliance." @Ozhar on how @zksync enables both Privacy and Compliance during his latest @therollupco interview.

Prividium: The Bank Stack of Ethereum 2026 will be the year of institutional adoption at scale. Prividiums enable Institutions to build on Ethereum without compromise offering privacy, compliance and cross-chain connectivity. Learn more: zksync.io/prividium
"The Bank Stack is all the different features and applications built into Prividium making it a turnkey solution." @Ozhar, on @therollupco, explaining how Prividiums come with built-in capabilities enabling Institutions to launch privately and compliantly onchain from Day 1.
ZKsync Launches L1 Interop Solution for Cross-Chain Ethereum Liquidity Access
ZKsync has introduced **L1 Interop**, a new solution that allows any ZK Chain to directly access Ethereum's DeFi liquidity while maintaining its own governance, privacy settings, and execution environment. The technology enables chains to connect to Ethereum's liquidity layer without compromising their independence or security model. This approach aims to solve fragmentation issues across Layer 2 networks. Key features: - Native access to Ethereum DeFi liquidity - Preserved chain governance and privacy - No changes required to execution environments The solution represents a step toward scaling Ethereum's liquidity across multiple chains while keeping sensitive operations private.

Ethereum zkRollup Shifts Focus to Enterprise Adoption in 2026
An Ethereum Layer 2 zkRollup announced its 2026 roadmap during The Rollup show, marking a strategic shift toward enterprise adoption. **Key Timeline:** - **2025**: Established "incorruptible financial infrastructure" foundation - **2026**: Focus on enterprise adoption at scale The project positions itself as building infrastructure for personal sovereignty through crypto adoption. Details about specific enterprise partnerships or implementation strategies were not disclosed in the announcement. The roadmap presentation aired at 3:40 PM ET on The Rollup, where the team outlined their transition from infrastructure building to business-scale deployment.
ZKsync Airbender Maintains Top Performance in Ethereum ZK Proving
ZKsync continues advancing its **Airbender zkVM**, maintaining breakthrough performance in zero-knowledge proof generation for Ethereum. **Key Performance Metrics:** - Proves Ethereum blocks in under 50 seconds on a single GPU - Achieves ~1 second proving time for ZKsync chain blocks - Holds #1 position on the EthProofs leaderboard **Technical Significance:** The team built Airbender as a RISC-V based zkVM from scratch, moving away from older zkEVM architectures. This architectural choice aligns with Vitalik Buterin's suggestion that Ethereum may transition to RISC-V. Real-time ZK proving represents a major advancement - what previously required hours now completes in seconds. This breakthrough enables extended verifiability for blockchain infrastructure.
