Odaily: ZKsync has announced the launch of Prividium Connect, enabling financial institutions to conduct privacy-preserving atomic transactions across existing blockchain networks without relying on trusted intermediaries or third-party bridge services. The solution uses zero-knowledge proofs to verify that transactions comply with agreed-upon rules while protecting sensitive information such as institutional account balances, asset positions, and client identities; if either party fails to complete delivery on time, both can reclaim their respective assets. Prividium Connect currently supports Hyperledger Besu and Prividium Ledger, with plans to expand to more networks based on client demand. ZKsync has also proposed deploying a standardized version on public chains, with the relevant enablement, integration, and fee parameters still subject to community governance approval.
