THE NEXT ERA OF NEPTUNE PRIVACY HAS ARRIVED. Today, we are unveiling the roadmap for Leviathan: Neptune Privacy’s private execution layer and the foundation for what comes next. $XNT’s privacy-first Layer 1 is already live. Core components of the Leviathan stack are built, others are nearing completion, and every milestone shown is planned for the network. Next: public testnet, private smart contracts, NeptuneSwap, Confidential AI and cross-chain interoperability. And on the horizon: a flagship private key exchange enabling private, permissionless peer-to-peer swaps. This is more than a roadmap. It is the path toward private, programmable money built for a post-quantum future. Leviathan is rising.

Behind the scenes, the next chapter of Neptune Privacy is taking shape. We’ve been refining our vision, reimagining the website, and preparing a roadmap that shares the full scope of what we’re building with $XNT. To everyone who has continued to believe in Neptune’s potential: we think you’ll be pleased with where it’s headed. The roadmap will speak for itself.

From one of Neptune’s early Pioneers: Neptune’s Miden-based execution layer opens the door to something much bigger than another privacy wallet: a private, programmable ecosystem where your wallet also becomes a secure access point for Confidential AI. No separate API keys. No unnecessary identity trail. Prompts are encrypted and processed inside a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), preventing the infrastructure between the user and the AI from seeing the data it handles. This is where @NeptunePrivacy’s pieces come together: quantum-resistant architecture, wallet based authentication, private applications, and Confidential AI, all built around privacy at its core. Check out this thoughtful excerpt and thread about what the Pioneers have been quietly testing and why Leviathan deserves far more attention ahead of the launch of its public testnet.
Replying to @Pretoria01
3. A Miden-based execution layer: this is what turns Neptune from “just a private coin” into a place where developers can actually build things. it gives builders a zero-knowledge virtual machine to create private smart contracts, exchanges and apps, without needing to be cryptography experts themselves.

Governments are already preparing for the post-quantum era. Neptune Privacy was built with zk-STARK-based privacy at its foundation, providing quantum-resistant security by design. “Harvest now, decrypt later” is not a future concern. It is a threat today.
IN FOUR MONTHS, THE NSA STOPS BUYING ANYTHING THAT RUNS ON TODAY'S ENCRYPTION. THE REASON IS QUANTUM COMPUTERS. This is not a proposal, but a published directive with a date. It's called CNSA 2.0, the NSA issued it in 2022, tightened it in 2025, and almost nobody outside the agency has read it. It quietly orders every national security system in America to abandon the encryption the entire internet runs on, because a large enough quantum computer breaks all of it, and the NSA has decided that machine is coming. The schedule: January 1, 2027: every new system the government buys for classified or sensitive work must use quantum resistant encryption. 2030: all network equipment and software signing must run quantum resistant only. Legacy gear that can't be upgraded gets ripped out. 2033: operating systems, applications, cloud. Everything. 2035: full quantum resistance across all national security systems. Hard stop. The NSA gave the EARLIEST deadlines to two categories, signed software and network traffic. Their stated reason: those are most exposed to harvest-now-decrypt-later, adversaries recording encrypted data today to crack it once the quantum computer exists. Defense systems take 18 to 36 months to build. Anything designed today ships after the deadline. For much of the government, the planning window already closed. Meanwhile your bank, your hospital, and the app you're reading this on run the exact algorithms the NSA is abandoning. $INFQ $IONQ $QBTS $RGTI

Confidential AI is coming directly to the Leviathan wallet. Your Leviathan wallet becomes your identity, access, and control layer for Confidential AI. Connect your wallet, approve once, and start a private AI session. From there, your prompts are encrypted directly into the TEE, meaning the infrastructure handling access and usage never sees what you’re actually saying to the AI. No separate API key to create, copy, store, lose, or leak. Your wallet proves access without handing control of your data to an intermediary. Your keys. Your data.

Neptune Privacy was built for privacy from day one. Zero-knowledge is enforced at the protocol level: making transactions, balances, state, and smart contracts private by default. No add-ons. No opt-ins. No privacy layered on top. With zk-STARKs built directly into the protocol, privacy isn’t a feature of Neptune. It’s the foundation. $XNT

The Leviathan Pioneers are putting Confidential AI to the test. Pioneers are testing TEE-powered AI, exploring new applications, identifying issues, and providing direct feedback as the team continues to improve the technology. Build. Test. Improve. This is what a testnet should look like: real users testing real technology and helping shape what comes next. $XNT

L1 protects and privatizes. L2 executes and scales. Together, they create the infrastructure for a private, quantum-resistant, programmable economy. Neptune + Leviathan. Two layers. One vision. Privacy unchained.

This is exactly why we launched the Leviathan Pioneers program. Early access. Real feedback. Shaping the future together. The most exciting part isn’t what Leviathan can do today. It’s what the community will build on top of it tomorrow. $XNT
good morning guys🤍 I’m sure y’all know I’ve been writing about @NeptunePrivacy for months…. now i’ve finally experienced the privacy stack firsthand as a Leviathan Pioneer. tested my first swap, and all I can say is y’all are underestimating what can be built on this infrastructure!!! and devs? y’all are sleeping on this. well, the Leviathan Pioneers group is still open. come test it,come break things ,come build on Neptune🔥 privacy shouldn’t just be something we talk about. build with it.

AI needs more than compute. Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) make it possible to process sensitive data without exposing it, unlocking confidential AI, private applications, and entirely new use cases. Combined with zk-STARKs and post-quantum cryptography, they become the foundation for a new generation of private, trustless computation. The future of Web3 won’t just be about private transactions. It will be about private computation.

Neptune Privacy isn’t built on zk-SNARKs. It’s built on zk-STARKs. Why does that matter? • No trusted setup. • Post-quantum security based on hash functions, not elliptic curve cryptography. • Transparent cryptography with no hidden assumptions. Privacy shouldn’t depend on trusting someone else. Combined with Mutator Sets, zk-STARKs make Neptune Privacy private by default and quantum resistant, eliminating metadata leakage at the protocol level. That’s the foundation of @NeptunePrivacy. $XNT.

Leviathan is more than a Layer 2. It’s a privacy-focused execution layer that brings confidential transactions, post-quantum security, and programmable privacy together in one ecosystem. By rethinking how privacy is built into blockchain infrastructure, it’s laying the foundation for the next generation of Web3. Read more ↓ neptune.io/learn/leviathan

Building doesn’t stop after an announcement. The roadmap is unfolding faster than most people realize. Our Chrome extension wallet, Ethereum and Base bridges, trustless web-based DEX, and Private AI continue to move forward. Some components are already in broader testing or entering the testing phase soon, while others remain under active development. We’re building this ecosystem one piece at a time, creating the infrastructure that private, quantum-proof DeFi requires. $XNT
DeFi called. Said it needs quantum-proof privacy. We answered. With a complete solution. Built for privacy, scalability, and post-quantum cryptography. Are you ready? Introducing our L2: Leviathan. ⸻ Block times: <1 second TPS: >3000 100% zk-STARKs Private. Fully programmable. Public Testnet: Imminent What’s already in motion: • $XNT as the store of value (bridged from L1) — complete • L2 Wallet (Chrome extension) — built, testing • ETH / Base bridge — built, testing • Trustless web-based DEX — built, testing What’s coming next: • Wrapped stablecoins — in development • Private AI (TEE) — built, expanding ⸻ Compromises: None Competitors: None And we’ve only just scratched the surface. This is what DeFi was always meant to be.
