“We really need to treat data as toxic waste by default.” Data itself carries risk. By default we should collect less, store less, and expose less. Do not hand it over or keep it unless necessary. Privacy is not about hiding everything. It is about making sensitive information usable and verifiable without putting it on full display. That is the infrastructure institutions actually need.
🚨 VITALIK: “We really need to treat data as toxic waste by default.” At Devcon Mumbai, he calls for open-source tech and zero-knowledge proofs to protect privacy and reduce reliance on trust.

Trees drop their leaves in November. They keep their roots. On a public chain, everything drops: balance, trades, timing. Privacy is deciding what drops and what stays.

Most privacy solutions only address part of the problem. They either hide everything or reveal everything. Neither is enough when real capital and real decisions are involved. What's missing is the ability to prove facts without exposing the underlying data, and to compute on sensitive information without decrypting it. That's the gap Primus is building to address. Not more secrecy. Not more transparency. But a way to keep sensitive data private while making it usable and verifiable. Primus is building that cure.

Trustworthy onchain decisions start with verifiable evidence. With zkTLS, Primus enables applications to verify the authenticity of offchain data while preserving user privacy. Together with @CournotProtocol, we’re bringing verifiable web evidence to prediction markets and exploring new possibilities for private credit and onchain finance. We believe this is an important step toward a more private and verifiable onchain ecosystem.
Cournot is partnering with @primus_labs to strengthen how offchain evidence is verified before AI reasons over it. Primus zkTLS can prove that web/API data came from the claimed source. Cournot then interprets that verified evidence and turns it into a structured, auditable judgment. Verified Evidence → Cournot Reasoning → Verifiable Judgment This creates a stronger foundation for: • Prediction markets, where resolution depends on proving the authenticity of source data before interpreting the outcome • Private credit and RWA, where sensitive financial conditions can be verified without exposing the underlying data Primus verifies the source. Cournot determines what it means. From market resolution to privacy-preserving financial intelligence, together, we’re building a more accountable path from offchain data to onchain decisions.

Privacy matters. And so does making onchain data useful without compromising privacy.
NEW EPISODE - Zcash Names: ENS for Zcash @ZcashNames founder James Joseph (@zcashme) joins @TrustlessState to break down how .zec usernames make shielded payments simpler without exposing your transaction history. They dive into how ZNS compares to Ethereum's ENS, the technology behind private usernames, the remaining security tradeoffs, and whether the system could pass the Edward Snowden privacy test.

Transparency proves. Privacy protects. The real system does both at once. Data stays hidden by default. Only what must be known becomes visible. Proof without exposure. Control without sacrifice. Private when it matters. Verifiable when required. That is the balance.

We were very happy to co-host and organize the Alphaland Trading Carnival with @SmartXTerminal and @JELabs2024 during #Token2049, with @BNBCHAIN as the blockchain partner. The event was truly enjoyable. Our co-founder @xxiang_xie was interviewed on-site 👇

Not every card needs to be on the table. Privacy means knowing what to reveal, and what to keep to yourself. That’s a hand worth holding. 🃏

🎤 @VitalikButerin just shared some thoughtful perspectives on the long-term security of lattices and FHE in the age of AI. It’s not a call to panic. But the security margins now need to be taken a lot more seriously. Here’s what actually matters: FHE remains one of the few ways to compute on encrypted data without ever decrypting it. That value hasn’t disappeared. The threat model has simply gotten harder. Lattice-based cryptography also offers a broader and more functional post-quantum security foundation than hash-based cryptography, especially when you need encryption, key exchange, or general computation on encrypted data. That’s why at Primus we’re not just talking about FHE. We’re building it carefully, with parameter choices that respect the new reality. On @BNBCHAIN. Backed by @YZiLabs. BNB tends to stand where the real technical frontier is, not just where the loudest narrative is. The math is hard. The implication is simple: Whoever gets practical, robust FHE right will own a very important piece of the future. We’re here for that piece.
Vitalik's math score: 99.99/100 My math score: 0.01/100 So, together, we might make it into something... 🤣 (interesting thread 👇 to read, even if you understand as little as I do)

Another 2049 with @CryptoHayes Grateful to @akshat_hk for organizing and for the invitation! Among our many investors, Maelstrom is definitely one of the best when it comes to picking restaurants for a party 👀😉 The first Maelstrom dinner I ever attended was at Le Du in Bangkok, and I remember thinking then: Arthur really knows his food lol. @MaelstromFund has been supporting @primus_labs for the past two years. We’ve always shared the conviction that privacy will be an indispensable part of bringing assets on-chain. Only fundamental cryptographic technologies can truly enable asset security and privacy while meeting compliance requirements, and this becomes even more important in the age of AI.

👏 Grateful to stand with @MaelstromFund, @CryptoHayes, and @akshat_hk. We share the same conviction: privacy is indispensable for bringing real assets on-chain. Only fundamental cryptography can enable security and privacy while meeting compliance requirements. This only becomes more important in the age of AI. Appreciate the consistent support and alignment. 🤝🤝🤝

Great to see our Co-Founder & CEO @xxiang_xie at GWDC 2026 Korea 🇰🇷 At the panel “The Road to On-Chain Finance: Trust, Privacy, and Global Adoption,” he shared: ▶︎ Privacy is the last missing piece for blockchain finance, especially for stablecoin mass adoption ▶︎ Primus focuses on confidentiality (hiding amounts), not anonymity ▶︎ Selective disclosure (private by default, auditable when required) is the path that balances privacy and regulation, and is likely to become mainstream Thanks @gwdc2026korea for the great discussion! 🚀
