## Overview

Polkadot has no shielded transactions, and its privacy footprint is contracting rather than growing. Manta's ZK privacy parachain wound down when its slot expired in August 2026, and Phala left the ecosystem entirely in November 2025 to run its own Ethereum L2. Integritee's TEE-based confidential compute is what remains, and it protects computation, not balances.
