Chainlink Privacy Standard

Chainlink Privacy Standard is a developer framework that enables private smart contracts on public and private blockchains by combining trusted execution environments (TEEs), zero-knowledge proofs, and the DECO protocol. It provides confidential computing through Chainlink Confidential Compute, selective disclosure for regulatory compliance, and cross-chain private transaction support via CCIP. Institutions use the standard to protect trade logic, tokenized asset metadata, and KYC credentials while remaining auditable to designated counterparties.
