New York, United States, September 19th, 2025 — Chainwire Plume, the first permissionless, full-stack blockchain built for real-world asset finance (RWAfi), has announced the deployment of Nightfall, a public-domain blockchain technology designed to 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 real-world asset tokenization and is set to establish it as 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.
Paul Brody, EY Global Blockchain Leader, expressed strong support for Plume’s deployment of Nightfall:
“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 Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) 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.
In addition, Nightfall supports decentralized permissioning and KYC-gating—features that are 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 real-world assets, supporting partners seeking to tokenize assets on-chain globally. The team is also actively collaborating with regulatory bodies in APAC and the US to ensure robust participation in the development of RWA legislation.
“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 enables our institutional partners across the US, APAC, and the UAE to advance 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 evolving RWA ecosystem,” said Teddy Pornprinya, CBO and Co-Founder of Plume.
By integrating Nightfall, Plume further strengthens its position as the preferred blockchain for institutions entering the blockchain ecosystem.
