ZKsync Positions ZK Tech as Privacy Solution for Institutional Blockchain Adoption
🏦 Banks meet ZK
ZKsync is emphasizing its zero-knowledge technology as a solution for institutional blockchain adoption, focusing on privacy and execution integrity. At a recent panel, VP of Business Development Ozhar explained how ZK tech enables institutions to operate onchain while maintaining compliance requirements.
Key institutional features:
- Private execution with cryptographic guarantees
- Compliant money movement and instant settlement
- Security at protocol level to prevent invalid transactions
The positioning builds on ZKsync's broader "Bank Stack" initiative, which includes Prividiums - customizable ZK blockchains designed for enterprise use. The platform has attracted institutional interest, including ADIChain's selection of ZK Stack for bringing the MENA region onchain.
ZKsync argues that institutions require "math, audits, and track record" rather than narratives, positioning its cryptography-first approach as meeting enterprise-grade requirements for privacy without sacrificing security or Ethereum connectivity.
Prividium™️ A purpose-built solution for Institutions that want to thrive in the digital assets economy. Private where it matters. Connected where it counts.
Your Chain. Your Rails. Institutions building on ZK Stack own their UX, data, and economics all while remaining connected to Ethereum's global liquidity.
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.
Prividium: The Bank Stack of Ethereum Private where it matters. Connected where it counts. Built-in compliance.
🏦 Launch, Control & Monetize Your Own Chain ZK Stack enables Institutions to launch customizable, enterprise-grade ZK blockchains that scale globally, interoperate natively, and inherit Ethereum's security.

The Prividium Breakthrough Initiative Imagine a financial system where payments settle in seconds, liquidity moves without friction, data stays private and regulators retain the visibility they need. Citi, Deutsche Bank and 30+ institutions joined us to to explore Prividiums.
Treating privacy and compliance as opposites is an outdated assumption.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.
🏦🔒 Incorruptible Financial Infrastructure Institutions don’t trust narratives. They trust math, audits, and track record. ZK stack is cryptography-first, battle-tested at scale and designed for Privacy without sacrificing Security.

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
ZKsync's L1 Interop solution enables any ZK Chain to natively tap into Ethereum's DeFi liquidity without giving up its own governance, privacy or execution environment. Private where it matters. Connected where it counts.
Visa didn’t win by creating more banks. It won by coordinating settlement. @ethereum is approaching its Visa moment, enabled by @ZKsync, scaling without fragmenting liquidity. DeFi doesn’t need more chains. It needs unified liquidity 👇

No tradeoffs. Institutions and national economies will come onchain only in enterprise-grade platforms that enable privacy, compliance, performance and connectivity. This is why @ADIChain_ picked the ZK Stack on its mission to onboard the MENA region onchain.
"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 👇

Edena Pushes Vision for Tokenizing Sovereign Real-World Assets Onchain
Edena is advancing its vision to tokenize sovereign real-world assets (RWAs) onchain, as detailed in a Bloomberg Opinion piece. The initiative aligns with broader industry trends: - **Bank of America Global Research** projects tokenization will reshape financial infrastructure over the next 5-15 years - Traditional assets moving onchain could transform both public and private financial markets - The shift represents a move beyond cryptocurrency speculation toward practical blockchain applications Tokenization involves creating digital representations of real-world assets like bonds, real estate, or commodities on blockchain networks. This approach aims to improve liquidity, reduce settlement times, and increase accessibility to traditionally illiquid assets. Edena's focus on sovereign assets suggests targeting government-backed securities or national infrastructure projects for blockchain integration.

ZKsync Powers Confidential Settlement for $20B+ Sovereign Assets with EDENA
**ZKsync has been selected by EDENA to provide infrastructure for bringing over $20 billion in sovereign assets onchain.** The partnership centers on two key capabilities: - **Confidential settlement infrastructure** that protects sensitive financial data - **Cryptographic proof systems** that verify compliance, ownership, and solvency without exposing underlying information EDENA is building what it calls the first "Autonomic Financial OS" - an operating system for sovereign wealth management. ZKsync's zero-knowledge technology enables institutions to maintain privacy requirements while gaining the benefits of blockchain settlement. This represents a significant step in institutional adoption, as sovereign wealth funds typically require strict confidentiality alongside regulatory compliance - requirements that traditional public blockchains struggle to meet simultaneously.
ZKsync Staking Pilot Hits 200M $ZK, APR Rises to 6%
The **ZKsync Staking Pilot Program** has reached a new milestone with **200M $ZK tokens** now delegated and staked. The target annual percentage rate (APR) has been **increased from 5% to 6%**. **Key Details:** - Season 1 is capped at 400M $ZK total - Current participation: 200M $ZK (50% of cap) - APR adjusts based on staking levels - No lockup periods - stake/unstake anytime **How It Works:** The program uses a **Delegate-to-Stake** mechanism where rewards only flow when staked $ZK is delegated to an active Delegate. This design strengthens governance participation by aligning incentives with active protocol involvement rather than passive farming.
