Brevis has expanded its partnership with BNB Chain to build new privacy infrastructure for blockchain users. This update was shared by Brevis in a post on X.
The goal of this initiative is to give users more control over what they share on-chain. Brevis states that this new privacy infrastructure goes beyond early privacy tools that solely hid transactions, focusing instead on smarter and more flexible privacy solutions.
At the core of this effort is a new product called an Intelligent Privacy Pool. Brevis is developing this product in collaboration with 0xbowio, with plans for its launch on BNB Chain soon. This development marks the first live implementation of Brevis's broader privacy framework.

We’re building a generalized privacy framework that goes beyond first-gen transaction hiding.

A Smarter Way to Protect On-Chain Activity
Early privacy tools, such as Tornado Cash, were designed for a single purpose: hiding the origin and destination of funds. Brevis asserts that modern zero-knowledge technology enables capabilities far beyond this scope.
The Brevis team outlines privacy through three key concepts. The first is the "privacy target," which refers to what is being protected, such as transactions, user attributes, or the execution of code. The second is the "unmasking rule," which defines whether data can be revealed and who has control over that access. The third is the "target user," which determines who is eligible to utilize the privacy tool.
This multifaceted approach unlocks a range of new use cases. For instance, users could verify credentials without revealing their wallet information. Transactions could remain private while still adhering to specific rules. Prediction markets could operate private models while making their results public. Furthermore, data could be kept private and utilized for training artificial intelligence systems.
First-gen privacy tools like Tornado Cash could only do one thing: hide transactions.
Modern ZK unlocks way more. Payment privacy can now be far more intelligent and configurable. And entirely new categories of privacy applications become possible

The Intelligent Privacy Pool serves as a practical demonstration of this framework. Users can deposit assets and subsequently withdraw them to a new address without any visible on-chain linkage. A key distinguishing feature is its advanced access control mechanism.
User eligibility is verified through two distinct methods. The first involves an assessment of on-chain history, managed by the Brevis ZK Data Coprocessor. The second method utilizes zkTLS to confirm control of a verified exchange account, without the necessity of sharing personal identity details.
We think about privacy in three dimensions:
1⃣Privacy target: what’s being protected (transactions, user attributes, computation processes)
2⃣Unmasking protocol: how can it be revealed, and by whom
3⃣Target users: who gets access to the privacy mechanism— Brevis (@brevis_zk) January 15, 2026
This enhanced privacy infrastructure signals a future where privacy and regulatory compliance can coexist. For BNB Chain, it reinforces its commitment to advancing sophisticated blockchain use cases. For users, it offers more secure methods for on-chain interaction while maintaining control over their data.
