The financial industry requires private, incorruptible systems connected as one global network.
Citi, Deutsche Bank, Mastercard, and 30+ top global institutions joined us to explore the power of Prividiums.
Unveiling The Prividium Breakthrough Initiative.
Financial institutions are facing an adapt-or-die moment.
Clients now expect internet-speed, always-on, programmable finance they can trust.
Those that cannot deliver will lose relevance as the market moves on.
Blockchain technology offers a path forward but splits into two extremes.
Public chains achieved openness but lost privacy.
Private chains regained control but lost interoperability.
No system today meets all institutional requirements, and adoption remains limited.
What if financial institutions could have it all?
✅ Ethereum-grade security
✅ Full privacy and compliance
✅ Instant cross-border settlement
✅ No intermediaries
✅ No liquidity fragmentation
✅ 15k+ TPS with one-second latency
✅ Atomic transactions
They now can.
ZKsync Prividiums are Ethereum-anchored, private, permissioned L2s uniting institutional privacy with public verifiability.
Secured by ZK cryptography rather than trusted validators, Prividium is the first architecture to bridge the public and private realms.
Prividium is the incorruptible financial infrastructure for institutions. It enables them to operate on their own terms, connecting directly to the global digital economy while maintaining full control over data, access, and compliance.
In partnership with @Deloitte, we organized a series of workshops with participation of more than 35 leading institutions in the financial industry who observed the capabilities of Prividium in live demonstrations.
✦ Why banks cannot operate on public blockchains without privacy
✦ How ZK-powered Prividiums enable confidential real-time cross-border transfers
✦ How intraday repo becomes atomic, private, automated, and available 24/7
✦ Why this marks the end of silos and the beginning of programmable finance with privacy
✦ Flow diagrams, benchmarks (15K+ TPS, <$0.0001 per tx), and more
Prividium is powered by the ZK Stack, the industry’s most proven ZK platform.
The recent Atlas upgrade delivers 15K+ TPS (over double VISA’s annualized avg. load), with 1-second ZK finality and $0.0001 proving cost for institutional-grade performance.
Prividiums are not an incremental step. They are a fundamental redesign of financial infrastructure: unlocking liquidity, reducing operational risk, and preparing enterprises for the new digital economy.
Ready to prove Ethereum in seconds on a single GPU?
Introducing ZKsync Airbender:
The world’s fastest open-source RISC-V zkVM ⚡️
On an H100 GPU Airbender reaches ~21.8 MHz base proving speed on a standardized benchmark, followed by 3.45 MHz for SP1 Turbo and 1.1 MHz for RiscZero.
Airbender is ~6x faster than the closest contender.
Powered by Airbender, ZKsync OS (our new zkEVM execution environment) is proving Ethereum blocks end-to-end in under 35 seconds on a single GPU.
This opens the door for truly decentralized at-home proving.
1/ Lens Chain is live on the Elastic Network! This is more than just SocialFi onchain - it’s one of the largest data migrations in blockchain history!
650K users, 125GB of data. Seamlessly migrated.
🧵 Let’s break it down:
2/ @LC is a next-gen SocialFi platform, powered by @zksync and @AvailProject.
→ Gasless UX
→ Onchain content storage
→ Modular social primitives
→ And a massive community of 650K profiles
All live now.
3/ ZKsync tech made the dev & user migration to Lens Chain simple:
The Elastic Chain is a rollup cluster whose sum is greater than its parts.
► Era: The first ZK Chain and flagship L2 from @zksync
► @cronos_chain: The Cronos zkEVM, in partnership with @cryptocom
► @zerodotnetwork: An L2 network with zero gas fee, by @zerion
► @LensProtocol: The resilient, low-cost Ethereum network with social features.
► @abstractchain: Leading the next generation of consumer crypto
► @Treasure_DAO: The decentralized game console
► @sophon: Unlocking a new era of entertainment onchain
► @SpaceandTimeDB: Decentralized blockchain indexing, data warehouse, and API servers
► @grvt_io: Next-gen marketplace blending CeFi and DeFi on blockchain
► @NodleNetwork: Using smartphones as nodes to create a digital trust network for social good
When you send a transaction on any rollup, it’s not “final” immediately. Rollups derive their security from Ethereum, which means Ethereum needs to finalize your transaction. This happens when the rollup sends data and a proof of that data to an Ethereum smart contract to finalize.
⚖️ Execution delays for Optimistic Rollups are several days to account for their challenge period.
➕ Execution delays for ZK Rollups are very short due to ZK-proofs. However, most core teams extend this period as an added security measure.
Why is ZKsync’s execution delay currently 21 hours?
ZK rollups have shorter execution delays because they use zero-knowledge proofs for transaction validation (trust math, not validators). However, core teams often extend this period as an added security measure.
@the_matter_labs introduced this execution delay to ZKsync so the team could investigate and respond to anomalies such as rapid outflow or unusually large withdrawals.
