Description
Penumbra operates a privacy-focused blockchain and native DEX. Its ultralight nodes generate zero-knowledge proofs on users’ devices, while transaction data is encrypted so only end users and selected recipients can decrypt it. The protocol supports shielding assets from IBC-compatible chains, private trading, custom liquidity positions, selective disclosure, and validator, RPC, and frontend node operations.Grant Funding
