Cross Chain Privacy Pool for EVM Chains

on YouTube ↗12m

" summary

Iron Fish runs a live layer‑1 PoW chain (mainnet launched April last year) that implements a multi-asset shielded pool using ZK proofs so amounts, senders and recipients stay encrypted while mint/burn events remain public for audit. Cross‑chain transfers use custodian bridges that perform sanction screening and a wrapped ERC‑20 demo succeeds testnet→testnet. Private multisig uses FROST threshold signatures with DKG to create decentralized multisig wallets without smart contracts.
