Telos Partners with Protofire to Revolutionize On-Chain Privacy for Developers

Telos and Protofire Join Forces to Revolutionize On-Chain Privacy

New York, USA, November 12th, 2025 – Chainwire

In a groundbreaking move for the blockchain industry, Telos, a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain, has announced a strategic engineering partnership with Protofire, a leading Web3 development firm. This collaboration aims to transform on-chain privacy from a complex concept into a seamless developer experience, paving the way for real-world blockchain adoption.

While many blockchain ecosystems have historically treated privacy as an afterthought, the Telos-Protofire partnership is set to embed privacy into the core developer experience. The initiative will establish essential standards, tooling, and production patterns necessary for building a new generation of privacy-enabled applications on the Telos platform.

Protofire will act as a core engineering partner, translating Telos’s ambitious vision into production-ready infrastructure. Together, they will deliver a builder-first privacy stack that includes:

• Production Patterns & Blueprints: Reference implementations that incorporate security and best practices from the outset, eliminating guesswork for developers.
• Intuitive Tooling & Developer Experience: A streamlined experience featuring concise guides, starter kits, and clear migration paths for existing EVM projects.
• User-Grade Privacy UX: Co-development of wallet experiences and standards that ensure private transactions are frictionless for end-users.

“Privacy isn’t optional if we want real adoption,” stated Justin Giudici, Co-founder and Head of Product at Telos. “Thousands of public blockchains offer full transparency, yet many see little organic demand. Users expect privacy; it’s how real-world transactions work. Builders need privacy they can actually employ to create apps people will trust and use. This partnership is about making that the new standard.”

Luis Medeiros, Venture Studio Owner at Protofire, echoed this sentiment: “Our philosophy is simple: if builders can’t use it, it doesn’t exist. Our role is to eliminate the complexity that holds developers back. For Telos, we are not just providing code; we are forging a clear, repeatable path for building private applications. We’re creating the tools we wish we had when we started.”

By establishing clear standards and removing ambiguity, the partnership aims to increase the number of active developers on Telos and broaden the range of applications that can credibly incorporate privacy as a native capability.
