Partisia Blockchain is a Swiss‑based protocol built by the non‑profit Partisia Blockchain Foundation headquartered in Zug, designed to bring advanced privacy‑enhancing computation and scale to p…ublic blockchain use cases. It leverages secure multi‑party computation (MPC) and zero‑knowledge computation to enable fully confidential processing on public chains without exposing underlying data, supporting applications in finance, identity, advertising, healthcare, gaming, search, and more.
Originally conceived in 2017 by the team behind Partisia and Sepior—Danish enterprises with decades of cryptographic research—the project formally launched its Token Generation Event and mainnet in May 2022, raising about USD 54 million and rolling out network version 3.0 shortly thereafter.
Version 4.0 arrived in 2023 with bridges to Ethereum, Polygon and BNB and support for dApps in DeFi, advertising, land registry, and humanitarian aid.
Since then Partisia has established itself as a leader in privacy‑enhancing technologies (PETs), focusing on MPC and sharded scalability at the protocol and smart contract layers, combined with a novel “Bring Your Own Coin” (BYOC) mechanism where BTC or ETH collateral can be bridged and used on-chain for payments, staking, and fees.
In late 2023 the protocol rolled out MetaMask Snaps integration—enabling over 100 million users to interact with Partisia through standard wallets—and onboarded USDT and MATIC into its BYOC framework, enhancing accessibility.
Through 2024 and early 2025, Partisia began launching ecosystem primitives: a privacy‑preserving decentralized exchange (zkCrossDEX) entered Phase 1 soft launch in May 2024, enabling swaps across Ethereum, BSC, and Polygon with CROSS token rewards; that DEX later passed a Halborn smart contract audit in December 2024 and prepared for full public launch in Q1 2025 with UI/UX and backend upgrades including a Market‑Maker bot, independent reader node, wallet integrations like Koala Wallet, MetaMask Snaps and Parti Wallet and slippage/error protections.
Concurrently ecosystem partner projects such as Sceptre (liquid staking), Boosty Labs (money market lending), Crowdsnap (private voting/surveys), Var Meta (private NFT auction) and Profila (identity interoperability) made significant progress toward mainnet deployment throughout early 2025.
The protocol also improved node infrastructure (oracle rotation, delegation warnings), staking features (3.44 M MPC tokens in rewards, weekly distributions), developer tooling (upgradable smart contracts, CLI), and community infrastructure like revamped branding, content, and open communication calls led by CEO Adrienne Youngman in 2024, setting the stage for enterprise adoption in real‑world asset tokenization, DeFi, privacy‑first AI and identity workflows in 2025.
Overall Partisia Blockchain positions itself not only as a scalable public blockchain but as a platform where programmable privacy, interoperability, and user‑owned infrastructure meet—with MPC at its heart, BYOC for flexible asset use, zkCrossDEX for cross‑chain trading, and a growing suite of dApps focused on confidential computation.
