Sunny Side Labs Launches Privacy Boost, Enterprise Privacy Solution for Optimism Mainnet

Sunny Side Labs launches Privacy Boost on Optimism Mainnet, an SDK-based privacy tool using ZK and TEEs with selective disclosure for regulators, targeting enterprises; no cryptography expertise required. Abstract: Sunny Side Labs unveiled Privacy Boost, an enterprise-focused privacy SDK for the Optimism Mainnet. It combines zero-knowledge proofs and trusted execution environments with selective disclosure to protect transaction privacy while enabling regulators to access only necessary data. Aimed at enterprises and institutions, the plug‑and‑play SDK minimizes cryptography know‑how. The initiative follows ongoing collaboration with Optimism since late 2025, signaling broader privacy integration on the mainnet.
