Its advanced privacy features, including zero-knowledge proofs (ZK-SNARKs) and secure multi-party computation (sMPC), further enhance security within the Liminal privacy layer.

Kintsu aims to revolutionize the DeFi landscape by offering a next-generation liquid staking platform, enabling users to stake their assets while retaining liquidity. Leveraging Aleph Zero's advanced security and transaction speeds, Kintsu promises unparalleled flexibility and efficiency in liquid staking, setting new standards for the industry.

The Kintsu Testnet boasts several key features, including exclusive early access for select participants, seamless staking processes, innovative unstaking and batching procedures, claimable gas rewards, and comprehensive wallet support. Additionally, Kintsu has partnered with Hats Finance to conduct an audit competition, ensuring the highest security standards for its contracts before the mainnet launch. The community's active participation and feedback are encouraged to shape the platform's user experience and drive its evolution in the rapidly evolving DeFi landscape.
