Privacy Boost enables applications to integrate private transfers and privacy-preserving DeFi workflows into public blockchains while keeping the data private from the public, viewable by the sponsoring app, and auditable by regulators. Deposit, transfer, and withdraw ERC-20 tokens with amounts, counterparties, and balances fully hidden onchain.

Who is this for?

On public blockchains, every transfer, every balance, and every counterparty relationship is visible to anyone. For applications handling real financial flows, this creates immediate business, competitive, and regulatory risk.

Wallets

User balances and transaction history must remain private and never be broadcast onchain.

Stablecoin Networks

Payment and settlement flows require confidentiality between counterparties.

RWA Platforms

Institutional positions and counterparty identities are commercially sensitive.

Fintech Applications

Privacy must align with financial regulatory frameworks, not conflict with them.

​
Why Privacy Boost?

Sub-500ms Transactions

Server-side ZK proof generation inside hardware-isolated enclaves. With no client-side proving, Privacy Boost works instantly on any platforms, including mobile devices.

1,800+ TPS

Proof aggregation batches hundreds of transfers into a single onchain transaction, reducing gas costs by orders of magnitude.

Auditability

Authorized auditors can query specific accounts. Every audit access is logged immutably onchain. Privacy for users, accountability for regulators.

True Self-Custody

Your keys, your funds. Forced withdrawal lets you exit directly through the smart contract, even if every server goes offline permanently.

Instant Balances & History

A TEE-secured indexer decrypts and serves your balance and transaction history in real time. No blockchain scanning required.

Drop-In Integration

Works with MetaMask, WalletConnect, any EOA account and smart accounts. TypeScript, React, React Native, iOS, Android, and CLI SDKs, with no new wallet software needed.

Private DeFi (Earn)

Earn without publicly revealing your wallet. Deposit into approved vaults and redeem back to your shielded balance, with your wallet identity hidden throughout the flow.

How It Works

Privacy Boost Pool Architecture: encrypted requests flow from users through TEE Server, which batches transactions and submits ZK proofs to the shielded pool smart contract 1. Deposit: Tokens move from a public wallet into the privacy layer and become encrypted private notes. 2. Transfer Request: The user signs a transfer with their auth key and submits it to the TEE Prover. 3. ZK Proof Generation: The TEE generates a zero-knowledge proof in ~500ms, batching many transactions into a single epoch proof for higher throughput. 4. Onchain Verification: The smart contract verifies the proof and records the result. Amounts, balances, and counterparties remain hidden. 5. Encrypted State Indexing: The TEE Indexer reads onchain state and indexes encrypted metadata, giving sender and recipient instant access to their balances and history. 6. Auditability: When required, authorized auditors can query specific accounts’ balances and history through a scoped disclosure mechanism. Every query is logged immutably onchain.

​
Why ZK + TEE?

Most privacy protocols force a tradeoff: client-side proving is trustless but costs 5–30+ seconds per transaction, can’t serve balance queries, and has no auditability. Privacy Boost combines both:
  • ZK proofs provide the privacy guarantees: sender, recipient, amounts, and token types are all hidden onchain. The smart contract verifies every proof and holds all funds. This is the cryptographic foundation.
  • TEE handles what ZK alone can’t deliver: sub-500ms proof generation, instant balance and transaction history queries, and auditability through scoped audit access, all inside a hardware-isolated enclave.
The result: a privacy protocol with the speed and UX of a centralized system, the trustlessness of ZK, and the custody guarantees of a smart contract. Self-custody is unconditional. Even if the TEE goes offline permanently, users can exit directly through the smart contract via forced withdrawal, using their own keys and public onchain data.

Coming Soon

Portal Deposit Addresses

A reusable public deposit address, similar to an exchange deposit address. Anyone can send supported ERC-20 tokens to it, and the protocol sweeps the funds into your shielded balance without revealing which shielded account was credited.

Claimable Transfers

Send privately to a wallet address, even if the recipient has not registered with Privacy Boost yet. The recipient can claim the funds by registering with that address, and any unclaimed transfers are refunded after a set deadline.

DeFi Swaps

Swap between tokens straight from your shielded balance, private DeFi trading with your wallet never exposed, just like Earn already puts your funds to work privately.
