Privacy Layer with zk-SNARKs & zk-STARKs
Privacy Layer with
zk-SNARKs & zk-STARKs
BitNetChain’s Privacy Layer uses zk-SNARKs and zk-STARKs to secure transactions, identities, and contracts with high-speed, low-fee, cross-chain privacy.
Verify transaction correctness without revealing raw amounts or addresses.
Aggregate many operations into fast, verifiable proof batches.
Reveal only specific fields for audits, compliance, or partners.
Connect with BitNetChain DID & Account Abstraction for rule-based privacy.
AMMs, lending, derivatives, and staking platforms that need hidden balances, private positions, and zk-based proof-of-solvency.
Bridges, aggregators, and routing protocols that rely on IBC and the Universal Bridge but must keep user data confidential across many chains.
Banks, fintechs, and sectors like healthcare or supply chain that need strong privacy with selective disclosure for regulators and auditors.
Projects building DID, KYC/AML, and access-control services on top of BitNetChain’s AI-enabled DID stack and zero-knowledge infrastructure.
How is BitNetChain's Privacy Layer different from "privacy coins"?
BitNetChain integrates zk-SNARKs and zk-STARKs into a high-performance Layer 1 with EVM, CosmWasm, and IBC support—letting you combine privacy with DeFi, cross-chain, and enterprise apps.
Can regulators or auditors still verify what they need?
Yes. Selective disclosure lets you reveal only specific fields (such as totals, flags, or aggregated metrics) to authorized parties, backed by zero-knowledge proofs that guarantee correctness without exposing full transaction or user history.
How does the Privacy Layer work with BitNetChain's cross-chain interoperability?
Privacy-preserving state and proofs are generated on BitNetChain, and assets or messages can move through IBC and the Universal Bridge while preserving confidentiality and verifiable correctness across connected networks.
Is the Privacy Layer compatible with both EVM and CosmWasm smart contracts?
The zero-knowledge infrastructure is integrated at the platform level, so both EVM-equivalent contracts and CosmWasm contracts can use the same privacy primitives and verification logic within BitNetChain's multi-VM execution environment.
Do I need to be a cryptography expert to use zk-based privacy?
No. Developers interact with simple SDKs and contract patterns; the zk-SNARK/zk-STARK logic and verification are handled by the protocol and infrastructure, not by your application logic.
Does privacy reduce performance or increase fees?
The design focuses on succinct proofs and batch verification: zk-SNARK proofs are small and fast to verify, while zk-STARKs scale logarithmically with computation, enabling high-volume DeFi and cross-shard operations without degrading TPS or pushing fees above BitNetChain's ultra-low cost model.
Can users choose when to be private vs. transparent?
Yes. Applications can offer opt-in private transfers, private pools, or private identities, while still supporting transparent flows where full on-chain visibility is desired. Selective disclosure gives users and protocols control over what is shared and with whom.
