DeFi Protocols & dApps

3.1 Overview

Protocols can integrate ZKGate to offer privacy-native DeFi features without building ZK circuits.


3.2 What DeFi Protocols Can Do

- Private AMM / DEX

  • Plug their DEX into the Private Routing Engine.

  • Use ZK Pools as private liquidity vaults.

  • Hide orderflow and LP positions.

- Private Lending Market

  • Collateral, borrow amount, and health factor are all private.

  • Liquidations triggered via ZK proofs, not public data.

- Private Farming / Staking

  • Users stake privately.

  • Projects distribute rewards without revealing who earned what.

- Hybrid Mode

Protocols can offer both:

  • Public mode (normal DeFi)

  • Private mode (ZKGate-powered)

without changing their main contracts.


3.3 Benefits for DeFi Builders

  • Zero cost to implement privacy (SDK-based).

  • Higher capital efficiency from private LPs.

  • MEV and bot attacks become impossible inside private pools.

  • Attracts sophisticated users wanting private yield.
