what's DarkFi?
DarkFi is an anonymous Layer-1 blockchain serving as a base layer for privacy-first applications. It creates an anti-fragile, sovereign environment for developers to build, explore, and deploy fully anonymous apps, powered by zero-knowledge proofs and emphasizing uncensored operations. Its smart contract stack includes a ZK assembly language, zkVM, and WASM runtime, enabling features like anonymous transfers, swaps, and DAOs on testnet. Developed by anonymous contributors via platforms like Codeberg and GitHub, it promotes a "Dark Renaissance" of crypto sovereignty beyond traditional surveillance-prone systems.
