Vision

Orbinum is a privacy-preserving blockchain built on Substrate, combining Zero-Knowledge proofs with EVM compatibility to enable confidential transactions without sacrificing auditability.

The Problem

Public blockchains expose all transaction data by design. This creates fundamental barriers for institutional adoption:

ChallengeImpact
Transparent balancesCompetitors can analyze holdings and strategies
Visible transactionsFront-running and MEV extraction
Public addressesPrivacy violations and targeted attacks
Compliance frictionCannot satisfy both privacy and audit requirements

The Solution

Orbinum implements Selective Privacy through a Shielded Pool architecture:

Key capabilities:

  • Shield: Convert public tokens to private notes
  • Private Transfer: Move value without revealing sender, recipient, or amount
  • Unshield: Convert private notes back to public tokens
  • Selective Disclosure: Grant view access to authorized parties

Core Principles

Privacy by Default

Transactions in the shielded pool are confidential. No metadata leakage.

Programmable Auditability

View keys enable compliance without compromising user privacy.

Cryptographic Security

Groth16 proofs on BN254 curve with sub-10ms verification.
