Solana infrastructure company Helius has acquired Light Protocol, whose team will now focus on developing on-chain privacy infrastructure for Solana. Founded in 2021, Light Protocol initially concentrated on zero-knowledge proof (ZK) privacy technology but later shifted to co-developing the ZK Compression data compression solution with Helius. Helius stated that the two parties will build a Solana privacy protocol supporting private payments and private DeFi based on zero-knowledge proofs, with plans to open the related infrastructure to developers in the coming months.
