Compliance-Ready Privacy​

Unlike fully anonymous systems, Orbinum supports regulatory compliance:

User generates View Key → Shares with auditor → Auditor verifies transactions
                                              → User privacy preserved from public

Technical Integration​

EVM Compatibility​

Deploy standard Solidity contracts that interact with the shielded pool:

// Interact with Orbinum privacy features from Solidity
interface IShieldedPool {
    function shield(uint256 amount, bytes32 commitment) external;
    function unshield(bytes calldata proof, bytes32 nullifier) external;
}

SDK Integration​

Use the Orbinum SDK for privacy operations:

// Create a private note
let note = Note::new(amount, asset_id, owner_pubkey, blinding);
let commitment = note.commitment();

// Generate proof for transfer
let proof = generate_transfer_proof(&note, &merkle_path)?;
