Tlcs-Rust
Project Links
Description
tlcs-rust implements an efficient TLCS protocol in Rust using the arkworks ecosystem. Its library can create public keys for elliptic curves supported by arkworks, plus the BLS12_381 G1 group and babyjubjub curve. The repository states that the work is incomplete, experimental, and not ready for main-project use.Category: Developer Tooling
TLCS
Project Links
Description
TLCS is work-in-progress blockchain node and client software for a Time Lock Cryptography Service. It uses tendermint-abci to communicate with a separately run Tendermint instance and provides commands to initialize and run a chain, manage accounts and keys, query balances and timelock data, send tokens, request timelock keypairs, and contribute data. The repository states it should not be used in production.Category: Node Software
Nouns-Anonymous-Voting
Project Links
Description
nouns-anonymous-voting is a work-in-progress implementation of private voting for Nouns. The repository includes a library, CLI, and smart contracts for registering private keys, creating voting processes, casting Yes, No, or Abstain votes on behalf of Nouns NFTs, and tallying completed processes; it explicitly warns against production use.Category: DAO Management Platform
Noir-Trie-Proofs
Project Links
Description
noir-trie-proofs provides Noir primitives for RLP decoding and verifying Ethereum state and storage trie proofs involving 32-byte keys. It includes integration examples plus a Rust library and ntp-fetch binary that fetch, pad, flatten, and emit trie-proof data for use in Noir circuits.Category: Developer Tooling
League Of Identity
Project Links
Description
League of Identity (LoI) is an IBE/IBS system and tooling that uses existing identity providers to issue cryptographic tokens linked to identities such as Gmail or Facebook accounts, phone numbers, digital identity cards, and Ethereum accounts. Tokens can sign blockchain messages or transactions and decrypt secret messages. Its proposed anonymous identity-based Web3 payments application lets users send crypto assets to non-crypto recipients without prior communication or registration, with paymasters intended to let recipients forward assets without creating a Web3 wallet. A proof of concept exists on Ethereum testnet, and the project states it is working on a public testnet.Category: Decentralised Identity
Bank3
Project Links
Description
Bank3 is a proposed decentralized anonymous-deposit system for Ethereum. Senders deposit ETH for a specified wallet or DAO through a smart contract, while receivers can later withdraw funds without exposing their remaining Bank3 balance. The proposal also describes a light-dark variant and a DAO-focused design that uses governance proposals and threshold key sharing for withdrawals.Category: Privacy Pool
AZKRchain
Project Links
Description
AZKRchain launched its devnet on 2024-09-16. The devnet uses Gears, a Cosmos SDK written entirely in Rust, and has a public experimental dashboard available.Category: L1
