Diversified addresses are a feature of ZCash-like protocols that let you publish an effectively unlimited number (well, $2^{88}$) of unlinkable payment addresses all of which pay into the same wallet.

This post is a gentle introduction to shielded transactions, as used in private payment systems such as ZCash, Penumbra or on top of any Bitcoin-shaped (i.e. UTXO-based) protocol. At the end of this p...

Shielded blockchains like Penumbra provide privacy through the use of zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs): actions that change the public chain state can be verified _without_ providing the underlying privat...

Penumbra is building a shielded, cross-chain network for private transactions, staking, swaps, and marketmaking. We use zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) to provide privacy. One crucial component for effici...

This is a simple explanation of cryptographic commitment schemes, requiring minimal math or cryptography background.
