Neptune Privacy
Quantum-safe privacy blockchain powered by zk-STARKs and PoW consensus
Neptune Privacy is a quantum-resistant Layer 1 blockchain that uses zk-STARKs and Mutator Sets to provide private-by-default transactions and smart contracts. It features a Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism, a Layer 2 execution environment (Miden VM) with 1-second block times, and post-quantum cryptography embedded at the protocol level. The project has a native token ($XNT) listed on exchanges and offers a wallet application available across mobile, desktop, and web.
Neptune combines zk-STARK proofs and Mutator Sets for private state transitions on Layer 1, with a Miden VM-powered Layer 2 for scalable private smart contract execution using 1-second block times
