Overview of Papillae

Discover Papillae, a privacy infrastructure for BNB Chain enabling encrypted, verifiable, and auditable blockchain transactions through advanced cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs.

Papillae is a cutting-edge privacy protocol built on BNB Chain that enables completely private cryptocurrency transactions through zero-knowledge cryptography. Unlike traditional blockchain transactions where all amounts, senders, and recipients are publicly visible, Papillae creates a privacy-preserving layer that shields transaction details while maintaining the security and verifiability of the underlying blockchain.

Key Features

Complete Transaction Privacy: All transaction details including amounts, sender addresses, and recipient addresses remain encrypted and private. Only the parties involved can decrypt and view transaction information.

Zero-Knowledge Proofs: Every transaction is validated through mathematical proofs that confirm validity without revealing any sensitive information. The network can verify that transactions are legitimate without knowing their contents.

Stealth Account System: Users operate through stealth addresses that are cryptographically unlinked from their main wallet addresses, providing an additional layer of identity protection.

Multi-Token Support: The protocol supports BNB and BEP-20 tokens, allowing users to privately hold and transfer any asset on BNB Chain.

Non-Custodial Design: Users maintain complete control of their funds at all times. Papillae never takes custody of user assets - everything operates through self-custodial smart contracts.

Selective Disclosure: While transactions are private by default, users can selectively reveal transaction details to specific parties (such as auditors or regulatory authorities) using view keys.

Design Philosophy

Papillae is built on three core principles:

1. Privacy as Default: Privacy should not be optional or require extra steps. Every transaction on Papillae is private by design.

2. Trustless Operation: The system requires no trusted third parties. All privacy guarantees are enforced by mathematics and cryptography, not by trusted intermediaries.

3. Practical Usability: Advanced cryptography should not compromise user experience. Papillae abstracts complex operations behind intuitive interfaces.
