## Overview

Native privacy is planned rather than present. BNB Chain's 2026 technical roadmap targets testnet by the end of 2026 and mainnet in early 2027, with selective disclosure for transfers and contract calls. Until then privacy comes from third parties, mainly Railgun's shielded pool and the newer Gh0st protocol.
