A verifiable privacy L3 on Base. No trusted setup. No ceremony. Every proof is publicly verifiable — loud by design.
Most privacy chains use Groth16 — a proving system that requires a trusted setup ceremony. If even one participant is compromised, every privacy guarantee collapses. Open Loud uses PLONK: universal, trustless, fully auditable.
| FEATURE | OPEN LOUD (PLONK) | OTHERS (GROTH16) |
|---|---|---|
| Trusted setup | ✗ None required | ✓ Required |
| Ceremony risk | ✗ Zero | Single point of failure |
| Auditability | ✓ Full — verify yourself | Partial |
| Circuit upgrades | ✓ No new ceremony | New ceremony per circuit |
Every transfer is a shielded UTXO note using Circom + PLONK. Fully private. Fully verifiable. No trusted setup. Maximum privacy with zero compromise on auditability.
Transparent EVM L3 with opt-in, compliance-compatible Privacy Pool. Fixed denomination + Association Sets. Withdrawals are "unlockable" by an Association Set Provider for regulatory compliance.
