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.
