ZKsync releases its 2026 roadmap: Prividium will integrate enterprise systems and workflows, and the ZK Stack will evolve from a standalone blockchain to a collaborative system.

On January 13th, ZKsync released its 2026 roadmap. This includes: Prividium, the privacy blockchain infrastructure, evolving from a privacy engine to bank-grade infrastructure; enterprise-grade encryption technology with privacy as its default foundation; direct integration with enterprise systems and workflows; and building privacy applications as if deploying standard enterprise infrastructure. ZK Stack will evolve from an independent chain to a collaborative system, with application chains becoming the core component of the stack; applications will run seamlessly between public and private ZK chains; and liquidity and shared infrastructure will be natively integrated without cross-chain functionality. The open-source RISC-V proof system Airbender will evolve from the ultra-fast zkVM to a universal standard, evolving from pure speed to prioritize trust, usability, security, formal rigor, and top-tier developer experience, serving applications outside of ZKsync, Ethereum, and the crypto space.
