Privacy preserving systems are technologies and protocols designed to conduct operations or transactions while minimizing the disclosure of sensitive personal or transactional data. These systems employ advanced cryptographic techniques to maintain confidentiality and anonymity. They aim to protect user information from unauthorized access or surveillance. Examples include zero-knowledge proofs and homomorphic encryption.

News often discusses the development and adoption of privacy coins or layer-two solutions that integrate these cryptographic methods. Regulatory bodies are simultaneously scrutinizing these technologies for their potential use in illicit activities, leading to ongoing debates about privacy versus compliance. The advancement of these systems is critical for wider institutional adoption of blockchain.
