p0xeidon labs (Manta Network)

Mission & Key Concepts

We are p0xeidon labs, the decentralized laboratory for building cutting-edge privacy technologies

p0xeidon labs is a team of world-class contributors on a mission to enable privacy across web3. At p0xeidon labs, we believe privacy is a fundamental human right and we work to build and deploy the tools to make it accessible to the world. Powered by zero-knowledge proofs, we lead innovation in the cryptography space.

Empower a decentralized future with privacy using zero-knowledge proofs

• The first Solidity-programmable zkApp ecosystem powered by zk-SNARKs
• The fastest UTXO-based zkAssets protocol with low transaction fees
• Build a universal execution layer on most decentralized networks

Current projects

• Poseidon Rollup. The ONLY zkApp-friendly rollup with EVM Compatibility

zkApps with privacy, scalability, and attestation, gas-efficient zkApp transactions, EVM compatibility

• Manta Network. Manta Network is the plug-and-play privacy-preservation parachain built to service the Polkadot ecosystem
• Calamari Network. Calamari, Manta Network’s canary-net, is the plug-and-play privacy-preservation parachain built to service the Kusama ecosystem
