Silent protocol is about privacy, possibly a crucial piece of web3. They raised $5 million from various VCs. And also got a grant from AAVE. If we trade well or win the lottery, we might not want the world to know much. But on web3, they can trace back to our lineage, especially if we use the main wallet for trading (not planning on getting famous).Would love the profit but no no dont stalk me.All kinds of Dapps we know, like AAVE, GMX, Hyperliquid, have the benefit of transparency for verification. However, they come with their own shadowy downside: privacy issues. If we're trading something, we wouldn't want others to know our position because it would put us at a disadvantage. And there are many other disadvantages.Today, anyone shorting something is about to get liquidated, and the neighbors know it. Most institutional investors can't enter the crypto market for the same reason. @silentdao_ develops the 0dapp or "Zero-knowledge Decentralized Applications" to address privacy issues. 0dapp acts as a mirror application that takes our commands and forwards them to the actual Dapp, maintaining the same security but adding more privacy.EZEE is a framework that provides us with privacy, and 0dapps are its results. 0dapp operates with Silent protocol's EZEE, the Economical Zero Knowledge Execution Environment framework. EZEE comprises an encryption layer and an execution layer, solving functional and data privacy issues while scaling well and saving operational costs. Example benefits of Silent protocol: When we trade prep on-chain, everyone knows:Where our position standsHow much capital we haveWhere the liquidation is setStop loss/take profit levelsAll of this can be manipulated if someone powerful enough wants to play you. They could manipulate the price before hitting take profit and drive it to stop loss, leaving us shattered. This lack of privacy affects not only the big players but also smaller ones, even preventing financial institutions from participating in the DeFi market.Aside from providing privacy, Silent protocol might be a gateway for a large influx of funds into DeFi. We won't need to create new wallets just to stay anonymous every time we use DeFi. With Silent protocol, we won't be constantly surveilled. Existing Dapps can immediately utilize Silent protocol without additional integration. Just us users using 0dapp will reduce complexity in usage and promote adoption. What can we do with Silent protocol today?Set up Twitter alerts and prepare to join Discord.They're open to receiving content submissions in the Discord activities room.Enjoy this? follow for more at @gadgeteerth @0x_nanobroSubscribe
