what's Panther Protocol?
Panther Protocol is a decentralized privacy protocol designed to enable confidential transactions and data protection in decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystems. It leverages zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs) to allow users to interact with DeFi applications while shielding sensitive information such as transaction amounts, wallet balances, and user identities from public blockchains. The protocol introduces zAssets, which are privacy-enhanced versions of standard cryptocurrencies, enabling users to mint and redeem private tokens backed by underlying assets without revealing details on-chain. By integrating with existing blockchains like Polygon and Ethereum, Panther facilitates cross-chain privacy solutions, including shielded pools for anonymous swaps and selective disclosures for compliance. This architecture supports use cases like private lending, borrowing, and yield farming, while ensuring regulatory adherence through tools for verified credentials and KYC-compatible privacy. The native token, ZKP, powers governance, staking, and network security within the ecosystem.
