Nox - Confidential Protocol

DOCS DISCORD X

Nox is a trustless, multichain confidential execution protocol for DeFi — with programmable auditability.

Nox Protocol Architecture

Nox Protocol builds the first truly on-chain composable privacy layer for DeFi, multichain, multi-privacy. Gas-efficient confidential computation at blockchain speed: like HTTPS made secure connections invisible, Nox makes privacy the default. Seamless for users, effortless for builders who can develop and monetize their own confidential functions, auditable for regulators.

🔐 How Nox Works

  • Smart contracts manipulate handles instead of plaintext values — ciphertexts never appear in the clear on-chain
  • Confidential computations run inside Runners (attested TEEs), ensuring data remains encrypted even during processing
  • A distributed KMS powered by threshold ECIES and Shamir secret sharing splits decryption keys across multiple nodes — no single party can decrypt data alone
  • Decryption is delegated to the client: each KMS node computes a partial re-encryption share, reassembled client-side, so the KMS never sees plaintext
  • On-chain ACLs make permissions explicit, auditable, and revocable — enabling programmable auditability and selective disclosure

💡 What You Can Build With Nox

  • Yield with Confidential Vault
  • cRWA with confidential Tokenized Equity on-chain
  • Confidential value transfers
  • Privacy-preserving DeFi primitives
  • Tokens with hidden balances & amounts
  • Selective disclosure workflows (audit, compliance)
  • Institutional-grade DeFi & RWAs

⚡ Product Quick Start - Confidential Token

The Confidential Token is the first Nox-based product: an ERC-7984 (OpenZeppelin)-compliant confidential ERC-20. It showcases the Nox protocol in action — no need to understand the full stack to get started.

With the Confidential Token, you can:

  • Create a native confidential token (cToken)
  • Shield / Unshield — wrap an existing ERC-20 into a cToken and unwrap it back
  • Swap cTokens (ERC-7984 to ERC-7984) with fully encrypted amounts
  • Transfer with hidden balances and amounts
  • Grant viewing permissions via on-chain ACL for selective disclosure
