How We Address Them
Privax aims to resolve these issues by introducing a private state managed by the wallet and integrating external services to help users manage virtual assets across blockchains without requiring deep technical knowledge.
🔐 Wallet Key Management
Account Abstraction (AA) and Multi-Party Computation (MPC)
AA decouples account logic from the address in EVM chains, allowing smart contracts to perform actions typically reserved for EOAs (Externally Owned Accounts). Benefits include:
Multi-signature support
Automated transactions
Built-in compliance logic
MPC in UTXO chains like Bitcoin enhances security by distributing key control across multiple parties. Benefits include:
No single point of failure
Decentralized control
Compliance facilitation
🆚 Compared to mnemonic keys, AA and MPC offer superior security and operational flexibility.
🕵️♂️ Private State Management
Privax maintains a local private state, enabling pluggable circuits (algorithms) to compute proofs in an isolated environment. Only the zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) is exposed externally.
Examples:
DeFi Protocol Swap: Circuit computes proof using a private input (e.g., passport data). → Proof is used in on-chain swap, validated by smart contract.
Privacy-Preserving P2P Protocol: Notes are processed to generate nullifiers and proofs. → Ensures anonymity and double-spending prevention.
🔁 Advanced Payment Routing
Tokens like USDC exist on multiple chains. Users often lack balance or gas tokens on destination chains. Privax integrates bridges and routing automation inside the wallet, allowing:
Seamless token bridging
Automatic gas token top-up
Refund and fallback handling
⛽ Gasless Transactions
Getting gas tokens is a major friction point. Privax enables gasless UX via:
Permit schemes (meta-transactions)
Account Abstraction
MEV-based relayers
A forwarder service ensures users don’t need to manage or understand gas token mechanics.
💬 P2P Messaging & Identity System
Privax incorporates a peer-to-peer encrypted communication layer and identity framework for:
Invoices
Travel Rule compliance
Payment metadata exchange
🔒 Ensures that all sensitive user data is securely shared between parties only.
