Private by default · Verifiable on demand

Prove what's true.
Reveal only what's needed.

Latheon is a modular network built for fast, near-free transactions — encrypted until you choose to share, verifiable the moment you do. Built for banks, marketplaces, and everyday users alike.

Private by default

Every transaction is encrypted end to end using zero-knowledge proofs. Nothing about a transfer is exposed unless the sender chooses to reveal it.

Verifiable on demand

Share a view key with a bank, auditor, or regulator, and only that specific transaction becomes readable — full compliance without full exposure.

Instant, near-free

Fast finality — seconds, not minutes — with low, predictable fees paid in LTH.

Genesis Cohort — now open

Build the network before it launches.

We're onboarding a limited group of builders, integration partners, and validators ahead of testnet. Early participants help shape the protocol and receive priority allocation when the network opens.

Builders

Grants & SDK access

Get early access to the SDK, testnet faucet, and a grants pool for the first integrations.

Partners

Pilot integration

For banks, e-commerce platforms, and logistics companies exploring a private pilot integration.

Validators

Node operator waitlist

Reserve a spot to run a validator node ahead of the public mainnet launch.

Ecosystem

Built for the real economy

Banks & finance

Selective disclosure that satisfies auditors without exposing customer data to the public chain.

E-commerce

Gasless checkout and stablecoin settlement, so shoppers never think about the chain underneath.

Logistics

Verifiable chain-of-custody records that partners can confirm without revealing shipment details.

DEX & marketplaces

Encrypted mempool to prevent front-running, with public settlement once a block finalizes.

Games

Near-free in-game transactions and asset minting, without exposing player strategy on-chain.

Architecture

Three layers, built to scale independently

Built on Ethereum — settling on the most audited smart contract platform in the world
01

Execution

Solidity-compatible today; inherits whichever execution environment the chosen L2 framework provides.

02

Data availability

Encrypted by default, with selective disclosure controlled entirely by the transaction's owner.

03

Settlement

Settles on Ethereum as an L2 (ZK-rollup) — inherits Ethereum's security instead of bootstrapping our own.

LatheonToken (LTH)

Standard ERC-20 utility token — 100,000,000 LTH, mintable by the owner for future grants.

LatheonShieldedPool (zk-SNARK)

Fixed-denomination pool (100 LTH) secured by a real zk-SNARK proof — withdrawals verify a Groth16 proof on-chain instead of revealing a secret.

Groth16Verifier

The on-chain verifier contract that checks zero-knowledge proofs for the shielded pool, without ever seeing the underlying secret.

LatheonFaucet

Claim 500 test LTH once every 24 hours — no need to ask us directly. Enough for 5 deposits into the shielded pool.

How the zk-SNARK shielded pool works, in plain terms

1

Deposit: you lock exactly 100 LTH into the pool. The amount is fixed on purpose: every deposit looks identical from the outside.

2

Withdraw: you generate a zero-knowledge proof off-chain showing you know a secret belonging to a deposit in the pool — without revealing which one. The contract verifies this proof on-chain and releases 100 LTH to any address you choose. The depositor and recipient are never linked, and the network never sees the secret.

3

Fully on-chain, no trusted operator: the Merkle tree of deposits updates automatically on-chain with every deposit, using the same Poseidon hash the zero-knowledge circuit relies on. No owner or operator publishes anything manually — the entire flow, from deposit to withdrawal, is verified on-chain end to end.
