Institutions are exploring blockchain settlement, but they cannot move forward without system-level privacy, says ZKsync developer. Privacy tokens bucked the trend to surge in price and popularity during the recent market slump, but most of the discussion has centered on consumer-facing projects like Zcash. At the same time, banks and financial institutions have been exploring zero-knowledge (ZK) systems that enable private transaction flows on blockchains, a technology known for transparency and immutability. As Alex Gluchowski, CEO of Matter Labs, put it, “There is cypherpunk privacy, which is account-level privacy, and then there is institutional privacy, which is system-level privacy. Institutions need full visibility over their own flows while keeping that data private from everyone else.” Read more

Gianluca Di Bella claimed quantum computing already makes encryption and ZK-proofs vulnerable due to “harvest now, decrypt later” risks. Gianluca Di Bella, a smart-contract researcher specializing in zero-knowledge proofs, said the danger posed by quantum computing isn’t a distant concern; it’s a current one. Speaking to Cointelegraph at the UN City offices in Copenhagen, Denmark, Di Bella said he believes “we should migrate now” to post-quantum encryption standards. The reason, he explained, lies in so-called “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks, where data is collected and stored until future technology makes decryption possible. For instance, if the identity of a dissident in a totalitarian country is protected solely by encryption, they want to ensure that the data will remain safe for 10, 15, 20 or more years into the future. Di Bella said that practical commercial quantum computing might be 10 or 15 years away, but cautioned that “big institutions like Microsoft or Google might have a solution in a few ...
