Executive Summary

Public blockchains expose balances, counterparties, and transactional patterns by default. zkChan restores financial privacy as a default while preserving on-chain verifiability and practical compliance. Using zk-SNARKs for confidential transfers, a modular scalability stack, and a cross-chain privacy bridge, zkChan enables:

The result is a trust-minimized, censorship-resistant, and regulation-aware monetary primitive suited to both individuals and institutions.

System Overview

zkChan is composed of modular components that bring zero-knowledge shielding, a flexible address model, cross-chain privacy, scalable deployment, and DAO governance together.

Shielded Pool (SP)

Contracts (or an appchain module) maintaining a Merkle tree of commitments (encrypted notes). Each spend consumes nullifiers proving one-time use without revealing which note.

Scalability & Architecture

zkChan scales private transactions with flexible deployment modes, batching, and optional distributed proving—without compromising trust minimization.

zkChan mascot

Upgradability: Governance-gated circuit & parameter upgrades with timelocks; emergency pause strictly for non-custodial risk mitigation.

Features

Privacy by default, interoperability by design, and developer-ready from day one.

zk-SNARK Shielding

Fully confidential transfers with cryptographic integrity—no amounts, addresses, or metadata leaked.

Cross-Chain Privacy Bridge

Burn-and-mint style bridging with proof-attested state to preserve unlinkability across ecosystems.

App-Rollup Mode

Validity rollup with dedicated sequencers and flexible DA (on-host, Celestia, EigenDA) for scale and cost control.

Smart-Contract Mode

Runs as contracts on EVM/L2/SVM—plug into existing wallets, explorers, and infra with minimal friction.

Auditable Privacy

Selective disclosure lets users share verifiable views with auditors and counterparties when required.

Developer SDKs

Wallets, dApps, and institutional systems integrate private payments and proof logic with simple SDKs & APIs.
