ZKsync переосмысливает будущее, создавая «неподкупную финансовую инфраструктуру» для глобальной интеграции Translation: ZKsync Reinvents the Future by Creating Incorruptible Financial Infrastructure for Global Integration

Alex Glukhovski, CEO of Matter Labs, has unveiled an updated strategic plan for the development of the ZKsync ecosystem. The company intends to move away from the concept of creating an alternative crypto economy, instead focusing on integration with the global market.

At the core of this strategy is the idea of an «incorruptible financial infrastructure.»

According to Glukhovski, after eight years of industry development, it has become clear that widespread adoption cannot occur without integration into the traditional financial sector. Conventional markets operate under strict regulatory frameworks that the crypto industry has long overlooked.

During discussions with banks, governments, and large enterprises, the Matter Labs team identified four critical demands from institutional players regarding blockchain technology.

Glukhovski emphasized that earlier generations of blockchain protocols were unable to meet these needs without compromise. The solution lies in zero-knowledge proof technology, which enables privacy while allowing audits and maintaining connection with public blockchains.

Over the past year, Matter Labs has focused on establishing a solid technical foundation. Components such as Atlas, Prividium, and Airbender have been launched and are functioning as a cohesive system.

Looking ahead to 2026, the developers have outlined three key areas of focus:

Glukhovski noted that the slow adoption of cryptocurrencies by businesses was hindered not only by regulatory uncertainty but also by a lack of suitable infrastructure. With the introduction of the «incorruptible financial infrastructure,» this barrier has been removed.

Matter Labs anticipates the launch of several significant systems in the fields of payments, capital markets, and trade finance by 2026. The project aims to serve tens of millions of end users through partnerships with regulated institutions.

It is worth mentioning that in November, Glukhovski referred to privacy as a driving force for institutional players.
