ARCHITECTURE

The protocol, by layer and by status.

One diagram, three honest columns: what runs today, what is under research, and what does not exist yet. Design intent is never presented as shipped capability.

Implemented today

Research prototype

  • Disclosure-code client core (TDC + ADC lower bound) — 40/40 tests passing
  • Single-node chain prototype with tested shielded-pool operations
  • Account-level viewing key registration
  • Development-key Groth16 verification path (not production ZK)

Under research

Research

  • Shielded transaction model end-to-end with hidden amounts
  • Disclosure credentials: server-side verification, expiry and revocation
  • Audit controls: time-range, asset and counterparty scoping

Not implemented

Not started

  • Mainnet
  • Production privacy
  • Production proof system and trusted setup
  • PoS validator economy
