In 2026 the Sui ecosystem is doing something with privacy on the blockchain. It is using something called zk-proofs with the Seal system from
@Walrus 🦭/acc . This means the Sui ecosystem can really keep data from start, to finish. The Sui ecosystem is making sure that data flows are completely secret.
The Sui blockchain is constantly changing. It is no longer about how many things it can do at the same time. Now it is about making sure transactions are private. The Sui blockchain uses something called Move. It has a special way of storing things. This makes it work well and it can do lots of things together.. Keeping things private has always been a big problem. It is not about using secret codes. The Sui blockchain needs a system that keeps things private from start, to finish. This is where Walrus and the Sui blockchain work together to keep things private. The Sui blockchain has some built in features that help keep things and Walrus helps make this work even better.
At the heart of this progress is the combination of zero-knowledge proofs with Walruss Seal toolset. Zero-knowledge proofs are becoming more popular on blockchains because they help show that a calculation is correct without giving away the details. On Sui zero-knowledge proofs let users verify that transactions are correct and that they have the amount of assets or that changes to the system are valid all without sharing private information on the blockchain. Zero-knowledge proofs are really useful, on Sui. But zk by itself is not enough to keep things private: things like information, about transactions the way orders are placed and how people access things can still give away what users want to do or who they are connected to.
Walrus Seal helps fix these problems by adding a layer of protection for how thingsre done and the data. This layer works with the mathematical promises of zk. Walrus Seal functions as a middleman, for privacy making sure of the following:
Confidential Inputs and Outputs. When we talk about transaction parameters and results these things can be kept secret from start, to finish. Only people who are supposed to see them can actually get to them.
Metadata Obfuscation is a way to hide information. It covers up the connection between the person sending something and the person receiving it. This also hides when things are sent. The point of this is to stop people from using this information to figure out what is going on. Metadata Obfuscation does this by hiding the timing and the links, between the sender and the receiver. This means that people cannot use Metadata Obfuscation information to understand the picture and how things are connected.
Selective Disclosure means that people can share the information that they really need to so they can follow the rules or pass an audit. They do not have to show everything just what is necessary, for compliance or an audit and they can keep the rest of their private information secret.
Together zk-proofs and Seal make up a system that helps keep things private. The zk-proofs part makes sure that everything is done correctly and the Seal part makes sure that the information is kept secret unless we want it to be shared. This is really important for things on the internet like Web3, where we need to be sure that everything is safe and private. For example when we talk about things like identity, money transactions sending messages, between groups and using real world assets in a new way we need to make sure that zk-proofs and Seal are working together to keep our information private.
The Sui-Walrus synergy is really important because it helps keep the Sui-Walrus system decentralized and scalable. This means that people do not have to trust one person or group. Instead the Sui-Walrus system can use something called zero knowledge proofs and Seals cryptographic protections in a way that is spread out among people. This helps the Sui-Walrus system work well and stay fast. The Sui-Walrus synergy is good, for the Sui-Walrus system because it keeps things running smoothly.
As privacy becomes a prerequisite for mainstream crypto adoption in 2026, integrating advanced cryptography like zk-proofs with holistic data confidentiality tools like Walrus Seal positions Sui at the forefront of private smart contract execution. This approach not only enhances user trust but also unlocks new classes of applications that were previously infeasible on transparent blockchains.
