New York City, United States, February 24th, 2026, Chainwire
The Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA), the leading member-driven organization supporting Ethereum institutional and enterprise adoption announced the formation of its Privacy Working Group, a collaborative initiative focused on advancing privacy solutions for enterprise and institutional blockchain deployments.
As financial institutions and enterprises increasingly explore tokenized assets and blockchain-based financial infrastructure, privacy and confidentiality have emerged as critical requirements for production deployment. The EEA Privacy Working Group brings together leading organizations across the Ethereum ecosystem to provide clarity on available privacy technologies and support enterprises evaluating their implementation.
Initial contributors include Applied Blockchain (Silent Data), Consensys (Linea), COTI, EY (Nightfall), Polygon, Kaleido (Paladin), and ZKsync, representing a diverse coalition of enterprise solution providers, protocol teams, and privacy innovators working across multiple privacy approaches and deployment environments. The Ethereum Foundation PSE and IPTF are also contributing – presenting the Ethereum Mainnet privacy roadmap.
“Privacy is one of the biggest remaining blockers to serious enterprise adoption of Ethereum. The Ethereum Foundation’s Privacy & Scaling Explorations (PSE) team and the Institutional Privacy Task Force (IPTF) are focused on advancing open, interoperable privacy building blocks across the stack. We’re excited to see the EEA Privacy Working Group bring the ecosystem together” said Mo Jalil, Institutional Privacy Lead at the Ethereum Foundation.
The working group will focus on mapping the current landscape of enterprise-relevant privacy solutions across Ethereum mainnet and Ethereum Layer-2 networks, helping institutions better understand how different approaches address operational, regulatory, and business requirements. This collaborative research orientation reflects a broader shift toward ecosystem-level knowledge sharing as organizations move beyond experimentation.
“The formation of this Privacy Working Group reflects the market’s shift toward real institutional deployment”, said Redwan Meslem, Executive Director at the EEA. “Our mission at the EEA is uniting ecosystem leaders to coordinate privacy innovation and preserving Ethereum ethos while meeting enterprise-grade confidentiality, compliance, and scalability requirements.”
As part of its work, the group is developing an upcoming publication that will offer a structured overview of privacy approaches and implementation considerations for financial institutions and enterprises considering Ethereum-based solutions. Due to the rapid development of this technology, this publication is expected to be updated twice a year. This will be version 1.
Organizations interested in contributing to the Privacy Working Group or learning more about participation opportunities are invited to engage with the EEA.
