paraloomA privacy Layer 2 for Solana.
Validators verify in ~10 ms. Any laptop can carry the network. No GPUs, no special silicon. Validators earn the network fees — no founder cut.
Built private by construction.
| Default privacy | Groth16 · 192-byte proof | BLS12-381 · Poseidon |
|---|---|---|
| Range proofs | u64 in-circuit | bit-decomposition, no field overflow |
| Consensus | 7-of-10 BFT default | reputation-gated, slashable |
| Replay protection | 1-slot expiry | on-chain Anchor program |
| Shielded transfers | 2-in / 2-out, BFT-verified | encrypted note delivery, recipient scan |
| Verification | ~10 ms / proof | commodity hardware |
| Fee distribution | validators earn | on-chain claim_rewards, no founder cut |
Settles on Solana
No new chain, no new token. Paraloom is a Layer 2 anchored by an Anchor program on Solana mainnet — finality is Solana finality.
Validates on a laptop
Verification is roughly ten milliseconds. The validator role is verify-only — proof generation stays with the user. Home PCs and single-board computers can participate in consensus.
Open and signed
MIT licensed, multi-platform binaries with SHA-256 checksums, CycloneDX SBOM, Sigstore signatures. The MPC trusted setup runs in the open with a verifiable transcript.
Build with Paraloom
Rust source — circuits, consensus, bridge, networking
The paraloom CLI — wallet, validator, compute
Anchor program — deposit, shielded transfer, withdraw on Solana
Validator binary — multi-platform, signed releases
Developer guide — integrate via CLI or paraloom-core crate
MPC ceremony — contribute to the trusted setup

Two weeks ago I said there'd be no token. Today there is one. Why the position changed, how the launch is structured, and what the treasury is actually for.
