New York City, United States, February 24th, 2026, Chainwire
The Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA), the leading member-driven organization supporting Ethereum institutional and enterprise adoption announced the formation of its Privacy Working Group, a collaborative initiative focused on advancing privacy solutions for enterprise and institutional blockchain deployments.
As financial institutions and enterprises increasingly explore tokenized assets and blockchain-based financial infrastructure, privacy and confidentiality have emerged as critical requirements for production deployment. The EEA Privacy Working Group brings together leading organizations across the Ethereum ecosystem to provide clarity on available privacy technologies and support enterprises evaluating their implementation.
Initial contributors include Applied Blockchain (Silent Data), Consensys (Linea), COTI, EY (Nightfall), Polygon, Kaleido (Paladin), and ZKsync, representing a diverse coalition of enterprise solution providers, protocol teams, and privacy innovators working across multiple privacy approaches and deployment environments. The Ethereum Foundation PSE and IPTF are also contributing – presenting the Ethereum Mainnet privacy roadmap.
“Privacy is one of the biggest remaining blockers to serious enterprise adoption of Ethereum. The Ethereum Foundation’s Privacy & Scaling Explorations (PSE) team and the Institutional Privacy Task Force (IPTF) are focused on advancing open, interoperable privacy building blocks across the stack. We’re excited to see the EEA Privacy Working Group bring the ecosystem together” said Mo Jalil, Institutional Privacy Lead at the Ethereum Foundation.
The working group will focus on mapping the current landscape of enterprise-relevant privacy solutions across Ethereum mainnet and Ethereum Layer-2 networks, helping institutions better understand how different approaches address operational, regulatory, and business requirements. This collaborative research orientation reflects a broader shift toward ecosystem-level knowledge sharing as organizations move beyond experimentation.
“The formation of this Privacy Working Group reflects the market’s shift toward real institutional deployment”, said Redwan Meslem, Executive Director at the EEA. “Our mission at the EEA is uniting ecosystem leaders to coordinate privacy innovation and preserving Ethereum ethos while meeting enterprise-grade confidentiality, compliance, and scalability requirements.”
As part of its work, the group is developing an upcoming publication that will offer a structured overview of privacy approaches and implementation considerations for financial institutions and enterprises considering Ethereum-based solutions. Due to the rapid development of this technology, this publication is expected to be updated twice a year. This will be version 1.
Organizations interested in contributing to the Privacy Working Group or learning more about participation opportunities are invited to engage with the EEA.

Quantum computing impacts the security of encrypted wallets? Research suggests post-quantum cryptography may force trading platforms to rebuild wallet systems
With the development of quantum computing technology, blockchain security faces challenges. Currently, mainstream layered deterministic wallets may become ineffective in post-quantum cryptography, forcing custodial institutions to reconstruct their security models. Researchers have proposed new wallet architecture prototypes to adapt to the post-quantum environment, maintain private key security, and generate new public keys to ensure system stability.

The story of Ethereum is being rewritten: when will the next revolution come as L1 zkEVM becomes final?
Written by: imToken
From a purely intuitive perspective, since 2025, the update frequency of the Ethereum core developer community has been exceptionally intense.
From the Fusaka upgrade, to Glamsterdam, and to long-term plans over the next three years focusing on kEVM, quantum-resistant cryptography, Gas Limit, and other topics, Ethereum has released multiple roadmap documents covering three to five years in just a few months.
This pace itself is a signal.
If you carefully read the latest roadmap, you'll find a clearer and more aggressive direction emerging: Ethereum is transforming itself into a verifiable computer, and the ultimate goal of this path is L1 zkEVM.
