Paladin Programmable Privacy for EVM

Bringing true financial privacy to the world's most popular smart contract platform

This illustration lists the components of Paladin programmable blockchain privacy.

Paladin, an LF Decentralized Trust lab, solves the challenge of global state visibility—the largest barrier to enterprise blockchain adoption

Paladin provides programmable privacy for EVM. It gives enterprises control of sensitive information without compromising transparency or scalability.

The Paladin code base is open source, Apache 2.0 licensing and is maintained in an open source community that provides open governance and open development, as part of Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust.

Programmable and composable
Create flexible privacy rules, enable atomic interoperability for all-or-nothing transactions, and link composable workflows seamlessly across any unmodified EVM chain.

EVM native tokens
Utilize ZKP for private token transfers, validate transactions with a trusted notary, and enjoy support for diverse token models.

Developer-friendly & open source
Paladin offers a built-in wallet, is fully API-enabled for easy enterprise integration, and supports quick deployment with minimal development time.

Enterprise-ready
Paladin features a pluggable architecture for custom integrations, is built for enterprise-grade performance, security, and scalability, and future-proofed to meet for evolving standards.

How Paladin works

Business workflows
Utilize Pente privacy groups for approved parties to create and execute business logic.

Transaction privacy
Utilize Zeto/Noto privacy preserving tokens or EVM Smart Contracts in privacy groups to execute confidential value transfer.

Global state
Record private transaction in shared global state while masking transaction details.

This illustration shows how paladin programs workflows and transactions.

Privacy-enabled smart contracts

Privacy-enabled smart contracts
Privacy preserving smart contracts are supported out of the box.

Pente: Secure, private transaction approvals and workflows through privacy groups.
‍Zeto: Fully private token transactions with zero-knowledge proofs.
Noto: Private transaction validation with notary system.

This illustration shows three types of private smart contracts.
