ZKsync 2026 Roadmap: Privacy and Institutional Infrastructure
ZKsync released its 2026 roadmap centering privacy, deterministic control and native interoperability as core pillars for institutional digital asset adoption.
CEO Alex Gluchowski outlined how Prividium, the network's privacy-focused execution environment, becomes the default layer for enterprise applications — enabling transactions without exposing balances, counterparties or internal logic.
The roadmap also evolves ZK Stack from isolated chains into an orchestrated system of public and private networks with native cross-chain connectivity, removing the need for external bridges.
Institutional partnerships initiated in 2025 are progressing toward production deployments expected to serve millions of users.
