 ZKsync has released its 2026 roadmap, focusing on three core directions: 1. Prividium will expand the privacy engine into a "bank-grade stack," providing enterprises with encryption infrastructure that has built-in default privacy; 2. ZKStack will shift from a single-chain architecture to a "coordinated system," enabling application chains to operate seamlessly within this stack, with native integration of liquidity and shared infrastructure; 3. Airbender will evolve from the "fastest zkVM" to a "universal standard," prioritizing security, formal rigor, and developer experience, with its service scope extending beyond ZKsync and the Ethereum ecosystem to broader use cases.

BlockBeats News, January 13th, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan wrote, "The 'CLARITY Act' is like the 'Punxsutawney Phil' of this crypto winter." "If it only peeks out and fails to pass Congress, then the 'winter' may continue; but if it successfully passes and is signed into law, the crypto market is likely to see a new all-time high."

BlockBeats News, January 13th, ZKsync released the 2026 roadmap. This includes the Prividium privacy chain infrastructure from privacy engine to bank-level infrastructure, enterprise-grade encryption with privacy as the default cornerstone, direct integration with enterprise systems and workflows, building privacy applications as deploying standard enterprise infrastructure; ZK Stack from standalone chain to collaborative system, making the application chain a core component of the stack, seamlessly operating between public and private ZK chains, native integration of liquidity and shared infrastructure without cross-chain requirements; open-source RISC-V proof system Airbender from ultra-fast zkVM to universal standard, evolving from pure speed to trust, availability, security, formal rigor, and top-tier developer experience priority, serving ZKsync, Ethereum, and applications beyond the crypto space.
