The blockchain industry has made significant progress in scaling solutions, but the need for programmable privacy remains unaddressed. Blockchain's enforced transparency presents a challenge for cases where privacy is essential, such as real-world assets and supply chain management. Privacy-focused Layer 2 (L2) solutions, powered by zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), are positioned to bridge the gap between public blockchain benefits and institutional privacy demands. Traditional solutions for privacy have hindered blockchain functionality, but ZKPs enable transaction verification while maintaining complete privacy. With the use of ZKPs, data protection requirements and regulatory compliance become complementary, allowing for secure environments and private transactions. Privacy-focused L2 solutions offer a bridge to broader institutional adoption and enable blockchain to be a viable option for institutions while upholding user privacy and regulatory standards.
