what's lx.dev?

lx.dev is a company developing technologies at the intersection of zero-knowledge cryptography, Bitcoin, and privacy-preserving protocols. They focus on user-owned software, peer-to-peer electronic cash, and tools that enhance privacy without compromising security. Key projects include Schnorr-compatible Noir libraries for secp256k1, privacy-preserving Bitcoin appchains with blind ZK vaults for collateralized mints/burns, end-to-end encrypted chats using the Marmot protocol integrated with Nostr, and appchains like forks of Payy compatible with Bitcoin L1 via ZK proofs. All work is open-source under MIT license on GitHub (zerosats org), emphasizing non-custodial, experimental innovations for private AI agent interactions and Bitcoin scaling.
