Technology
Technical foundation powering ZKyNet's complete privacy suite with enterprise-grade infrastructure and zero compromises
Architecture Overview
ZKyNet's complete privacy suite is built on four core technology pillars that work together to eliminate privacy protection fragmentation while maintaining enterprise-grade reliability and legal compliance.
Zero Knowledge Infrastructure
Hybrid network combining centralized reliability with decentralized privacy
Dynamic Privacy
Adaptive routing balancing privacy, performance, and user experience
Enterprise Grade Infrastructure
Anonymous authentication with accountable abuse mitigation
Rust Architecture
Memory-safe, high-performance foundation for production deployment
Zero Knowledge Infrastructure
A network of centralized and decentralized proxies, tied together by a protocol that combines their strengths with practical applications and business-friendly features.
Nodes
Directory
Centralized directory nodes handle ZK authentication, maintain node lists, enforce network integrity, and promote middle nodes to entry nodes.
Exit
Exit nodes connect the network to the internet and carry the highest risk. To ensure scalability, they are centralized and focus on detecting malicious patterns. Exit nodes also coordinate with each other to identify large-scale attack patterns. Instead of direct enforcement, they send anonymous, rule-bound reports only containing suggested actions to entry nodes.
Entry
Decentralized entry nodes verify logins and account status, validate that abuse reports from exit nodes follow strict rules, enforce actions against bad actors, and encode reputation to offenders accounts. Directly tied to users and assigned long-term, these high-trust nodes must meet strict security and reputation standards, but earn higher rewards than middle nodes.
Middle
The lowest-risk role in the network, used only in three-hop tunnels they experience the least traffic and are lower earning. Middle nodes relay traffic between entry and exit nodes and verify that exit-node encrypted abuse reports follow basic structural rules. They serve as the starting point for decentralized operators to build reputation.
Dynamic Privacy
There's no single solution that meets every need. The balance between privacy, speed, and UX is dynamically allocated and fully customizable, providing a seamless experience.
Adaptive Routing
Dynamic hop count and path selection based on activity requirements
Per-Application Settings
Different privacy levels for different applications and activities
Intelligent Optimization
Automatic balancing of privacy, performance, and user experience
Variable Hop Count
From direct connections to multi-hop routing based on need
Split Tunneling
Route different traffic through different privacy configurations
Performance Mode
Direct connections for speed-critical applications
Browser Integration
Per-tab privacy configurations and intelligent defaults
