Introduction
Welcome to the Privacy Pool documentation. This guide will help you understand and use privacy-preserving transactions with programmable compliance.
What is Privacy Pool?
Privacy Pool is a next-generation protocol that enables confidential transactions while maintaining regulatory compliance. By combining zero-knowledge proofs with verifiable credentials, you can transact privately without compromising on compliance requirements.
Key Features
Privacy by Design: Your transaction details, balances, and identity remain confidential through cryptographic shielding.
Programmable Compliance: Prove you meet regulatory requirements (KYC, jurisdictional eligibility, source of funds) without revealing personal information.
Selective Disclosure: Choose what to reveal and to whom. Share compliance proofs with regulators while maintaining privacy from the general public.
Non-Custodial: Maintain full control of your assets throughout the entire process.
How It Works
The Privacy Pool protocol operates in three main steps:
- Obtain Credentials: Get verifiable credentials from approved providers that attest to your compliance status
- Shield Assets: Deposit tokens into the privacy pool where they mix with others for enhanced confidentiality
- Transact Privately: Send and receive funds while proving compliance through zero-knowledge proofs
Who Should Use This?
Privacy Pool is designed for:
- Enterprises requiring confidential business transactions with audit trails
- Compliant DeFi protocols seeking privacy features without regulatory risk
- Institutions needing both privacy and compliance for treasury operations
- Privacy-conscious users in jurisdictions with strong privacy protections
