ZKsync has shared its roadmap for 2026, which focuses on privacy, predictable system control, and smooth cross-network connections.
The plan aims to make blockchain more practical for banks, companies, and public institutions that handle sensitive data.
The roadmap, written by Matter Labs co-founder and CEO Alex Gluchowski, presents zero-knowledge technology as key infrastructure for regulated finance.

According to him, as rules around digital assets improve in many countries, the main challenge is now building reliable systems that meet institutional standards.
In 2025, ZKsync introduced several important tools: Atlas, Prividium, and Airbender. These were designed for real-world use.
The new roadmap focuses on putting those tools into action. At its center is Prividium, a privacy-focused environment where institutions can run transactions without revealing balances, counterparties, or internal logic.
ZKsync plans to integrate Prividium into existing business processes like identity checks, approval steps, audits, and compliance reporting.
Gluchowski explained, “Sensitive financial data cannot be public without breaking competitiveness, confidentiality, and the law. This is obvious to anyone in traditional finance, yet has been routinely overlooked in crypto”.
Recently, the team behind zkSync Lite announced plans to discontinue the zero-knowledge rollup protocol by 2026. What did they say? Read the full story.
