Confidential Derivatives Platform Design
We architect and develop derivatives platforms where perpetual swaps, options, and structured products operate with privacy. Position sizes and P&L are hidden using zero-knowledge proofs, while on-chain solvency is verifiable.

PROVEN METHODOLOGY
Our Zero-Knowledge Development Process
A systematic, security-first approach to building confidential derivatives platforms. We deliver production-ready ZK circuits and smart contracts, not just proofs-of-concept.
01
Architecture & Circuit Design
We design the foundational ZK-SNARK or ZK-STARK circuits for your specific derivatives logic (options, futures, swaps). This includes defining the private inputs (positions, PnL) and public verification logic to ensure correctness without revealing sensitive data.

Circuit Framework
2-4 weeks
Design Phase
02
Implementation & Optimization
Our engineers write and rigorously optimize the ZK circuits and their Solidity verifiers. We focus on minimizing proof generation time and on-chain verification gas costs, which are critical for user experience and platform economics.

Security Audit & Formal Verification
Every circuit and verifier contract undergoes internal review followed by an audit from a top-tier firm like Trail of Bits or Quantstamp. We use formal verification tools to mathematically prove the correctness of critical financial logic.

Integration & Front-End SDK
We build the necessary backend prover services and a developer-friendly SDK (TypeScript/React) for your front-end. This allows your UI to seamlessly generate proofs for trades and settlements and interact with the on-chain verifier.
