ZKsync Launches Prividium: Institutional-Grade Ethereum Infrastructure
ZKsync Launches Prividium: Institutional-Grade Ethereum Infrastructure
🏦 Banks Get Their Own Blockchain
ZKsync has introduced Prividium, a purpose-built Ethereum Layer 2 solution targeting institutional adoption in digital assets.
Key Features:
- Privacy-first infrastructure with cryptographic compliance enforcement
- Full institutional control over data and permissions
- Cross-chain connectivity and performance optimization
- Built-in "Bank Stack" capabilities for turnkey deployment
The Value Proposition: Prividium challenges the traditional trade-off between privacy and compliance. Using modern cryptography, institutions can operate on Ethereum while maintaining regulatory requirements and data sovereignty.
Market Context: The launch aligns with the bipartisan Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, which emphasizes compliance and risk management. ZKsync positions 2026 as "the year of institutional adoption at scale."
Prividium enables banks, fintechs, and governments to launch blockchain operations from day one without compromising on privacy, compliance, or connectivity requirements.
Prividium™️ A purpose-built solution for Institutions that want to thrive in the digital assets economy. Private where it matters. Connected where it counts.
Same Institutions. New Stack. Prividium is designed for Institutions that want to thrive in the digital assets economy without sacrificing privacy, compliance, performance and connectivity.
Treating privacy and compliance as opposites is an outdated assumption.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 👇
