September 19, 2025 – New York, United States
Plume, the first permissionless, full-stack blockchain built for RWA (real-world asset) finance announced the deployment of Nightfall, a public-domain blockchain technology, that will facilitate the adoption of privacy-focused enterprise solutions among institutions.
EY will be assisting with the deployment onto the network.
Nightfall’s expansion to Plume reflects the increasing demand for secure and compliant privacy infrastructure in RWA tokenization and will make it one of Ethereum’s prominent privacy solutions.
With Nightfall on Plume, enterprises can execute private transactions on Ethereum-compatible blockchains while preserving the foundational benefits of transparency, data immutability and security.
Expressing support for Plume’s deployment of Nightfall, Paul Brody, global blockchain leader of EY, said,
“Plume’s leadership in the RWA space positions it well for the development and implementation of a privacy protocol.
“We look forward to working with institutions and developers to build out a full suite of regulatory-compliant privacy-enabled solutions.”
Nightfall has been in development in the public domain since 2017.
The latest iteration, Nightfall_4 (NF_4), leverages ZKP (zero-knowledge proof) technology to enable the private transfer of multiple token standards, including ERC20, ERC721, ERC1155 and ERC3525.
Transactions are bundled using a ZK-ZK rollup, creating succinct and efficient blocks that maintain privacy without sacrificing scalability.
Nightfall also supports decentralized permissioning and KYC-gating features particularly relevant for enterprises and regulators engaging with tokenized RWAs.
Combined with Plume’s sequencer-level AML policy, this integration ensures that compliant, private transaction flows can scale securely across institutional markets.
Plume has been at the forefront of institutional onboarding to RWAs, supporting partners looking to tokenize assets onchain globally.
The team has also been working with regulatory bodies in APAC and the US to ensure a deep participation in the development of RWA legislation.
Teddy Pornprinya, CBO and co-founder of Plume, said,
“Privacy and compliance are not opposing forces. At Plume, we are building the infrastructure that allows institutions to tokenize and transact with confidence.
“The addition of Nightfall on Plume allows our institutional partners across US, APAC and the UAE to further develop their tokenization efforts knowing privacy is built into the process.
“This further strengthens our mission to be the home for institutional RWA adoption and expands heavyweight participation in the rapidly developing RWA ecosystem.”
By integrating Nightfall, Plume further strengthens its position as the preferred chain for institutions entering the blockchain ecosystem.
