Overview

zkBob is a stablecoin-based privacy wallet built for everyday users on Optimism. zkBob is optimized for common financial activities that benefit from privacy, including salary distributions, donations, and DAO disbursements. zkBob uses zkSNARKS to anonymize senders, receivers, and amounts when transferring stable funds (USDC on Optimism). When a transfer is initiated, the amount and recipient is never disclosed or published. Transactions are routed through a relayer, abstracting gas fees while providing an efficient transfer environment. zkBob integrates compliance features such as deposit limits and optional KYC to offer secure and private transactions while preventing illicit activities. Development is underway to support a decentralized relayer infrastructure including upgrading scripts for contracts (currently in progress), deploying a release with new accounting features to the Op USDC Pool, deploying a release with a decentralized relayer to the Op USDC Pool and deployment of additional provers/relayers. - For more information on compliance and zkBob, please see https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4787693. - For additional info on mechanics and usage, please see https://docs.zkbob.com/ - Usage on Optimism can be seen here: https://dune.com/zkbob/zkbob-on-optimism
