Optimism Launches Privacy Boost

A plug-and-play SDK for adding confidentiality to any OP Stack chain, combining zero-knowledge proofs with trusted execution environments.

OP Labs introduced Privacy Boost, an SDK for adding confidentiality to any OP Stack chain. The release aims to help projects meet regulatory requirements such as MiCA, BSA, AML/KYC, and GDPR, which are difficult to satisfy when user transaction data is published on a public blockchain.

Privacy Boost combines zero-knowledge proofs with trusted execution environments, where ZK proofs ensure privacy and cryptographic integrity, while TEEs improve performance and simplify integration. Built on a UTXO-based model, the solution can generate proofs in under 500 milliseconds and includes a forced withdrawal feature. Privacy Boost is now live on OP Mainnet.
