What's a bio?

[Paraloom @paraloomlabs]

0. financial privacy.

Three of us spent a year building exactly that on

Solana, on commodity hardware, with zkSNARKs.

33k LOC Rust. 407 tests. Open source.

"The privacy era in crypto has officially begun."

Three of us. One year. Zero VC. Paraloom Solana's privacy Layer 2, already shipping.

Why we made validators run on laptops:

Some privacy protocols (Aztec, Aleo) need GPUs and specialized hardware to run nodes.

This shrinks validator sets and concentrates power.

We made it different. Verify-only nodes. Groth16 proof verifies in 10ms on one CPU core, 192 bytes per proof.

Your laptop runs a validator. 1 SOL minimum stake. Privacy without decentralization isn't privacy.

It's a permissioned database with extra steps.

Funny thing.

Solana was originally called "Loom."

We named our project Paraloom.

Para- (privacy) + loom (Solana's roots).

Built it for a year before noticing. Some circles close themselves.

Roadmap to mainnet:

✓ v0.5.0-rc3 — privacy layer, BFT consensus, MPC tooling
→ Security audit
→ MPC ceremony completion
→ On-chain quorum attestation via threshold sigs
→ v0.6.0 — validator-quorum daemon
→ Mainnet

Treasury funds: audit, ceremony, validator incentives at genesis.

Timelines published when audit firm confirmed.
