Z-Chain (ZK)

Overview

The ZK Chain provides zero-knowledge privacy for transactions on Lux Network. Using a UTXO model with Groth16 and PLONK proof systems, Z-Chain enables fully private transfers where the sender, receiver, and amount are all hidden.

Nullifier-based double-spend prevention ensures security without revealing transaction graph information. Optional FHE integration via the T-Chain allows smart contracts to operate on encrypted values.

Z-Chain supports both private and transparent transactions, giving users the choice of when to use privacy features. Compliance keys can optionally be configured for regulated environments.
