Privacy Summit
About the event
Monday, 7th October 2026.
The Privacy Summit of Token2049 Singapore.
Venue: Paya Lebar Quarter
Join an event organized by StarkWare for everyone interested in privacy.
We are bringing privacy and compliance into the same room for a practical conversation about where crypto privacy goes next. The event will bring together
privacy protocol teams, cryptographic researchers, application builders, wallet teams, institutions, policy thinkers, and people who care about making
private crypto systems usable.
The program will include discussions on the future of onchain privacy, the relationship between privacy and compliance, and the technical approaches
powering the next generation of private applications. We will also feature live demos from teams building real privacy products today.
Topics include
State of onchain privacy in 2026
Compliance and privacy: can they coexist?
Practical privacy: private payments, private DeFi, shielded assets, and real user applications
ZK, FHE, MPC, and TEEs: which tools fit which privacy use cases?
Privacy protocols in production: what is live, what is hard, and what still needs to be built?
Institutional privacy: what do funds, fintechs, and regulated actors need before using public blockchains?
Wallet privacy: how do we make private crypto usable for normal users?
What should the next generation of privacy builders focus on?
Who this is for
Cypherpunks, privacy protocol teams, cryptographic researchers, privacy engineers, application builders, wallet builders, policy thinkers, and anyone who
cares about the future of crypto privacy.
This event is open to everyone interested in privacy. Register and join. Privacy should not be a niche conversation, we believe it should be for all.
Speakers
Eli Ben-Sasson (Starkware), Harsh Bajpai (Zcash), Carter (Fhenix), to be announced.
