Hedger is a first-of-its-kind privacy engine purpose-built for regulated, EVM-compatible DeFi.
What is Hedger?
Hedger brings confidential transactions to DuskEVM using a unique cryptographic design that combines:
- Homomorphic Encryption (HE): Compute on encrypted values without revealing them
- Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs): Prove correctness without exposing inputs
- Hybrid UTXO/Account Model: Supports composability and integration with real-world finance
Key Capabilities
- Private ownership & transfers of regulated assets
- Regulated auditability with end-to-end encryption
- Support for obfuscated order books, critical for institutional trading
- Fast in-browser proving for seamless user experience
Zedger vs. Hedger
While Zedger is optimized for UTXO-based layers, Hedger is fully EVM-native, meaning it integrates directly with standard Ethereum tooling and scales with the ecosystem.
This makes Hedger a foundational pillar of DuskEVM, delivering compliance-ready privacy for real-world financial applications.
