Integritee has demonstrated a working live deployment of its privacy sidechain technology on Paseo.
Try it now at: https://try.incognitee.io
After years of development, our sidechain prototype has been field tested in May 2024 with a public user testing campaign where a total of 200k PAS have been moved by 95 accounts performing 969 shielding and 3291 unshielding actions during two weeks.
With this, Integritee has shown that its prototype delivers on its goal to enable privacy-enhanced transfers of any fungible token in the Polkadot ecosystem. Deploying this in production is the next step and we need support to make this our focus.
We ask the Polkadot treasury for
803’680 CHF ≃ 897’463 USD ≃ 135’527 DOT
to fund remaining activities until launch on Kusama and Polkadot
Resources:
Main Deliverables
- Productive Incognitee deployments on Kusama and then Polkadot
- Private transfers of limited amounts of DOT, KSM and USDC/USDT
- At least one wallet UI implementation (functional preview)
