About
The problem it solves In DeFi, MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) attacks exploit the transparency of blockchain transactions. Bots monitor pending transactions and front-run users by inserting their own trades just before, resulting in: • Front-running: Your trade is copied and executed ahead of yours, making it more expensive. • Sandwich attacks: Bots buy before and sell after your trade to extract value from your slippage. • Loss of privacy: Every trade is public before it is finalized, revealing your strategy. This leads to unfair pricing, higher fees, and loss of trust in decentralized markets. The Solution: ZKShield ZKShield protects users from MEV by using zero-knowledge proofs and a commit-reveal scheme that hides trade details until they are executed. Users commit to a trade off-chain, generate a ZK proof that verifies its validity, and only reveal the trade once it’s safe. This prevents bots from reading trade intent in the mempool and ensures fair, private, and MEV-resistant trading.
How it's made
Challenges we ran into Unfortunately, I’m currently facing technical issues with my laptop — it stopped charging last night and shut off in the middle of the project. I’m currently working off the last commit I was able to push before it powered down.
