what's Civitas?

Civitas is a zero-knowledge payroll protocol built on Starknet, providing privacy-preserving infrastructure for DAOs and Web3 teams to handle confidential compensation on-chain. It leverages Nillion's nilDB for encrypted storage and nilCC for secure compute in enclaves, ensuring sensitive payroll data remains private. Employers deposit STRK into a PayrollEscrow contract and commit Merkle trees of payroll commitments, enabling zero-knowledge proofs for verification and settlement without exposure.

Civitas integrates Nillion for secure zero-knowledge payroll infrastructure for DAOs/Web3.
