Delphi Consulting's institutional accelerator report examines ZKsync's transformation from a single ZK rollup into the Elastic Network — a modular ecosystem of interoperable ZK Chains built on the open-source ZK Stack. The report argues that ZK proof technology is the key to solving blockchain's dual challenge: liquidity fragmentation across 30+ L2s and public chains' inability to meet institutional demands for privacy, compliance, and customization. With $1.19B in total economic value and 13+ new ZK Chains onboarding, ZKsync is positioning across tokenization, gaming, social, and permissioned enterprise use cases.Three-pillar architecture (ZK Router, ZK Gateway, ZK Chains) enables trustless cross-chain interoperability with shared liquidity, ~1s soft confirmations, and no third-party bridge dependenciesEnterprise adopters include Deutsche Bank (asset tokenization), Buenos Aires government (digital identity for 3.6M residents), Tradable ($1.7B tokenized private credit), GRVT (regulated hybrid DEX), and Lens (decentralized social media)ZKsync leads all rollups in theoretical throughput at 434 TPS with the second-lowest block time; 2025 roadmap targets 10,000 TPS at $0.0001 per transactionModular ZK Chain design lets enterprises choose chain type (rollup/validium), data availability, gas token, sequencing model, and permissioned vs. permissionless access — enabling confidentiality with verifiabilityZK token (21B supply, ~$687M circulating market cap) serves governance, network fees, and future validator staking; three-body governance model (ZKsync Governance, Security Council, Guardians) implements separation of powersDownload PDF

Designed for enterprises, Prividium offers user-level privacy, compliance, cross-chain connectivity, and Ethereum-grade security out of the box.
[H3] Privacy with public proofs
Prividium ensures that sensitive data never leaves your infrastructure. Transactions, counterparties, and balances remain private, while ZK proofs certify correctness without exposing raw information. This eliminates the risk of data leakage and ensures regulators, partners, and auditors can verify outcomes independently. Finality on Ethereum combines privacy with strong security guarantees, making the system private yet publicly verifiable.Learn how Prividium keeps data private

[IMG: Prividium built-in compliance with role-based access controls and selective disclosure]
[H3] Built-in compliance
Prividium combines role-based access controls with ZK proofs to make requirements such as AML and KYC enforceable and verifiable. Granular permissions allow only authorized parties to deploy contracts, interact with them, or view data. Selective disclosure supports bytecode verification, sanctions checks, and proof of reserves or circulating supply on demand. Compliance can be demonstrated without exposing confidential business data, aligning blockchain operations with regulatory expectations.Explore compliance features
[H3] Enterprise control with scale
Prividium gives operators full authority over governance and transaction ordering. A single operator can enforce policies directly, while independent validators can optionally attest to each batch for added protection. Enterprises can also customize the chain, from defining a custom gas token to operating in a fully gasless mode for seamless user experience. The platform is designed for horizontal scalability, allowing multiple Prividium instances to run in parallel and meet any level of throughput demand.Learn about chain customization

[H2] Prividium® enables new use cases
Faster, compliant global payments
[H3] Cross-border payments between regulated entities
Traditional cross-border settlements take days, rely on intermediaries, and expose sensitive data. With Prividium, regulated institutions can transfer value directly between one another. Transactions settle in minutes, compliance checks are enforced on chain, and data stays private, removing costly intermediaries and delays.

From creation and onboarding investors through dividends, transfers, and redemption, Prividium enforces compliance automatically. Every action is auditable and anchored to Ethereum while operational details remain confidential.Compliant markets, verified participants
[H3] KYC-anchored tokenized markets
Open new liquidity channels without regulatory risk. Prividium enables marketplaces where every participant is identity verified (KYC/AML) but trades are still peer to peer. This reduces counterparty risk, ensures compliance, and allows institutions to safely unlock liquidity across tokenized assets.
[IMG: KYC-anchored tokenized markets with verified participants]
[IMG: Atomic swaps and cross-chain finance between institutions]
Secure cross-chain financial products
[H3] Atomic swaps and cross-chain finance between institutions
Institutions can move value instantly across chains without intermediaries. Prividium supports atomic swaps, ensuring both sides of a transaction succeed or none at all. Combined with interoperability in the Elastic Network, banks and enterprises can build new cross-border settlement systems and financial instruments that work across multiple chains securely and privately.Real-time intraday liquidity
[H3] Intraday repo and secured financing
Repurchase agreements (repos) are a backbone of institutional funding, but intraday liquidity is constrained by manual processes and batch settlement. Prividium enables real-time intraday repo markets where collateral, cash, and settlement all move instantly and privately. Institutions can optimize treasury operations, reduce counterparty exposure, and free up capital throughout the trading day.

Everything you need to know about ZK Stack.

Why not just launch my own L1?
Running an L1 means maintaining a distributed validator set. This is costly as the validators need to be incentivized. This also means chain owners don’t maintain control over the chain. With ZK Stack you keep full control of your chain while inheriting Ethereum, the most decentralized blockchain, security out of the box.

What if Optimism or Arbitrum ship a feature ZKsync doesn't support?
We prioritize based on partner needs. If your chain requires it, we'll deliver. Our focus is enabling your GTM.

Do I need to run validators?
No. Your chain inherits Ethereum's security while using a single operator or sequencer of your choice.

What if operating a rollup is too complex?
Matter Labs maintains a blockchain hosting service. We can host the chain for you. If you prefer to self-host, we maintain several enterprise-grade support tiers. Our goal is to take care of the blockchain for you while you focus on your users.
