Built for systems that cannot choose between privacy and accountability.

Public blockchains provide verifiability, but many organizations cannot place sensitive information on a public ledger. Private infrastructure protects confidential data, but often lacks a neutral and shareable proof layer.


Prismo connects both environments. Data and computation can remain private where required, while proofs, validations, and approved records can be anchored to a public blockchain — one interoperable architecture serving both.

Prismochain is a zk-Rollup built using the Polygon Chain Development Kit. It processes transactions on Layer 2 while using Ethereum for final verification and transaction finality.


When a user submits a transaction, the Layer 2 Sequencer executes it and organizes transactions into batches. An off-chain Aggregator and Prover generate the corresponding zero-knowledge proofs. These proofs are then submitted to an Ethereum smart contract for verification.


This architecture increases throughput and reduces transaction costs while retaining Ethereum compatibility and Layer 1 verification.

Homomorphic encryption allows mathematical operations to be performed directly on encrypted data. The result, when decrypted by the authorized party, is equivalent to performing the same operation on the original plaintext.


This allows sensitive information to remain confidential while still being used in approved computational processes.

Input orchestration

  • Accepts information from applications, centralized databases, smart contracts, private blockchains, and other connected systems.

  • Determines whether the information should be classified as public or private.

  • Preserves the integrity and traceability of the submitted data.

Output orchestration

  • Public information is validated and prepared for inscription on Prismo’s Layer 2 chain.

  • Private information is directed to approved private infrastructure.

  • Confidentiality is maintained without removing the ability to verify authorized records.
