what's PlasmaBlind?

PlasmaBlind is a privacy-preserving Layer 2 protocol for Ethereum designed for instant and private transactions. It eliminates the need for expensive SNARKs by leveraging folding schemes, specifically building on PlasmaFold with the Nova folding scheme and its BlindFold extension. This enables client-side zero-knowledge proofs generated in under 100 milliseconds on everyday devices, providing sender-receiver unlinkability and confidential amounts while maintaining efficient block aggregation. The protocol operates in a UTXO model where users maintain local balance proofs for instant exits, and aggregators construct compact validity proofs via dual incrementally verifiable computation chains. It supports high theoretical throughput (up to 36,000 TPS with centralized data availability like Intmax2) and is implemented openly under an MIT license, with benchmarks validating low-latency proving and aggregation on consumer hardware.

PlasmaBlind enables private transfers with unlinkability, confidential amounts, and fast client-side ZK proofs.
