#zero-knowledge-proofs + #ethereum

RAILGUN is code that exists on every Ethereum node. It's a privacy system built directly on-chain for Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, and Arbitrum. It uses Zero-Knowledge (ZK) cryptography to enable private use of smart contracts and DeFi, all without leaving the security of the user’s preferred chain. The RAILGUN code has no owner. Interactions on your chain of choice are made private.

The RAIL token is purely a governance token and is not a privacy coin. Holding RAIL is not necessary to use the protocol and it does not confer any rights to holders. You can read more about governance here.

RAILGUN users have access to a special 0zk address that are confidential on Etherscan, Arbiscan, or any similar resource. Independent wallet providers can use the RAILGUN protocol, head here to select from a list of wallet providers. RAILGUN is 100% non-custodial.

The user experience is similar to using a public wallet to interact with Ethereum/EVM chains, just with the added ability to interact privately.

As RAILGUN is simply on-chain smart contract code, privacy is achieved without the need to move to a separate chain.
