Blockchains are, by default, public ledgers containing every transaction recorded by the network. While this ensures transparency, it also violates users’ privacy once an address is linked to an entity. Apart from creating additional risk for self-custody, institutions are also limited by what they can publicly share on a blockchain. As a result, there is great demand and utility for on-chain, compliant privacy, which still requires KYC (& KYT), but protects them through cryptographic constructs. Zero knowledge proofs attest computational integrity, allowing for transactions to be bundled together and their correctness verified, without revealing each individual interaction. 

We were joined by Anish Mohammed, co-founder & CTO of Panther Protocol, to discuss the importance of compliant privacy for on-chain transactions, powered by zero knowledge technology.

Topics discussed in this episode:
- Anish’s background
- Panther’s value proposition
- UX & on-chain privacy
- Panther’s multi-asset shielded pool architecture
- KYC & KYT
- Shielded zones and transactions
- Zone administrator
- Address mapping
- Roadmap & Panther mainnet
- Target audience & adoption
- Fee model & tokenomics
