Today with Brevis BNB Both Chains have made updates to further expand their collaboration aimed at building next-generation privacy infrastructure at Web3. This project focuses on introducing a privacy framework that is composable, privacy-compliant, and can be driven by current zero-knowledge-based technologies.
🚀 Brevis partners with @BNBCHAIN to redefine privacy infrastructure
We are building a generalized privacy framework that goes beyond first-generation transaction concealment.
Our first implementation is the Intelligent Privacy Pool coming soon in collaboration with @0xbowio 🧵 pic.twitter.com/4Xg1qB3jI7

At the heart of this effort is a broader vision. In other words, privacy is a flexible infrastructure component, not a single-purpose tool. The first practical implementation of this vision will be introduced into the blockchain ecosystem. BNB The chain is expected in the first quarter of 2026 and will be a major step towards the use of privacy-preserving applications.
Limitations of first generation crypto privacy tools
Early cryptographic privacy protocols were primarily aimed at hiding information about transactions (addresses, recipients, amounts, etc.). As simple payment privacy, these systems were limited both by the technical capabilities of early zero-knowledge proofs and by the ability to verify only information of limited complexity without knowledge of sensitive information.
As a result, previous privacy tools had issues with access control, compliance, and user behavior validation and history. There was little flexibility in determining who could access privacy settings or under what circumstances sensitive information could be compromised.
A 3D view of privacy with Brevis
New framework provided by Brevis and BNB Chain can view privacy in three basic dimensions.
- The first is about what needs to be protected, and this is not necessarily limited to transactions, but also user attributes, sensitive data, and even proprietary computational logic.
- The second question is under what circumstances will protected information be disclosed? This includes designs that allow selective disclosure, governance unmasking, or enforcement intervention without weakening system-wide privacy protections.
- The third dimension specifies who has access to the privacy mechanism. Instead of complete access or outright denial, access may be protected by cryptographic proofs that authenticate eligibility without disclosing identity.
Unlock new Web3 use cases
This broad definition of privacy opens up possibilities for practices that were not possible before.
Customers were able to verify their identity on social and financial sites without having to view their wallet trail. The market operator’s proprietary logic may be disclosed without the market operator disclosing the integrity of the algorithm. AI developers can use their own datasets, but only release verifiable results.
Access controls combined with selective disclosure and verifiable computation make privacy a trusted tool rather than a barrier to adoption.
Intelligent Privacy Pool start date BNB Chain by Brevis
Intelligent privacy pool designed by Brevis and BNB Chain, in collaboration with 0xbow, is the first attempt to introduce this framework. Pools are built on: BNB chain. It allows users to deposit or withdraw assets to a new address without establishing an on-chain connection between transactions.
This pool is unique in its qualification mechanism. Deposits must be under a recognized association where they can be withdrawn privately. Users can also circumvent eligibility by proving a compliant on-chain funding source, using Brevis’ zero-knowledge data infrastructure, or cryptographically proving ownership of an exchange’s verified account using privacy-preserving verification tools.
Balancing privacy and enforcement
Controlled intervention mechanisms are also built into the system. If a deposit is later found to be associated with legitimate or malicious activity, it may be removed from the association’s collections and subsequent personal withdrawals may be blocked. This creates accountability in a way that does not violate the privacy of legitimate users.
Brevis’ Intelligent Privacy Pool shows how privacy and regulation can coexist on the same platform through attribute-based attestation, unlinkable transactions, and forced path selection.
