Brevis, BNB Chain, and 0xbow to Launch Privacy Pool in Q1 2026

Brevis and BNB Chain Launch Intelligent Privacy Pool

  • Brevis, in collaboration with BNB Chain and 0xbow, plans to launch an Intelligent Privacy Pool on BNB Chain by Q1 2026.
  • The tool enables users to prove their funds originate from compliant sources without exposing their transaction history.
  • This development adds compliance features while maintaining user privacy, allowing users to verify credentials and conduct private transactions.
  • Users can confirm wallet history without disclosing wallet ownership.

How the Pool Works

  • The pool offers two verification methods for private withdrawals: checking blockchain transaction history for compliance and verifying control over a verified exchange account.
  • Deposits passing compliance checks are placed in an approved pool, with only such funds eligible for private withdrawal.
  • The system can exclude deposits linked to sanctions or criminal activities.

Buterin-Backed Technology

  • The protocol extends 0xbow's Privacy Pools launched on Ethereum, which processed 17,479 transactions in its initial 290 days.
  • Vitalik Buterin co-authored a research paper proposing this privacy-preserving technology and was an early investor and user of Privacy Pools.
  • The move towards compliant privacy tools follows increased regulatory scrutiny, with notable legal actions against other privacy-focused tools.
  • In November 2025, 0xbow raised $3.5 million from investors like Coinbase Ventures, while BNB Chain maintains $7.4 billion in total value locked.
