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.
