The Golden Triangle Method

Privacy-First Blockchain Architecture

Designed & Maintained by magic

The Golden Triangle Method is a revolutionary open-source framework for building privacy-preserving blockchain systems by combining three foundational pillars: Mathematics, Secure Programming, and High-Performance Computing.

πŸ“„ Read the Full Whitepaper for comprehensive technical details, security analysis, and performance benchmarks.


πŸ”Ί The Three Pillars

1. MATH (The Shield) πŸ›‘οΈ

Leveraging ZK-SNARKs (Groth16) for Mathematically Indisputable Privacy

  • Zero-Knowledge Proofs: Ensures transactions are proven valid without revealing any sensitive information
  • Groth16 Implementation: Industry-standard zkSNARK scheme offering:
    • Constant proof size (~200 bytes)
    • Fast verification times
    • Mathematical guarantees of privacy
  • Privacy Guarantees:
    • Transaction amounts remain hidden
    • Sender and receiver identities are protected
    • Proof generation ensures computational integrity

Key Features:

  • Non-interactive proofs
  • Cryptographically secure under discrete logarithm assumptions
  • Enables trustless privacy without revealing transaction details

2. MOVE (The Logic) 🎯

Utilizing Sui's Move Language for Asset-Oriented Smart Contracts

  • Resource-Oriented Programming: Assets are first-class citizens that cannot be duplicated or lost
  • Native Security: Move's type system prevents common vulnerabilities:
    • No reentrancy attacks
    • No double-spending
    • Linear types ensure asset safety
  • Privacy Pool Management: Smart contracts that manage shielded transactions with:
    • Secure deposit mechanisms
    • Privacy-preserving withdrawal protocols
    • On-chain proof verification

Why Move?

  • Designed for digital assets from the ground up
  • Formal verification capabilities
  • Native parallelization support on Sui
  • Enhanced security through ownership model

3. RUST (The Engine) βš™οΈ

Powering High-Speed Sequencer with Maximum Efficiency

  • Off-Chain Computation: Handles complex ZK proof generation off-chain
  • Performance Characteristics:
    • Zero-cost abstractions
    • Memory safety without garbage collection
    • Fearless concurrency
  • Sequencer Responsibilities:
    • Batches private transactions
    • Generates ZK-SNARK proofs
    • Manages Layer 2 state
    • Coordinates with Layer 1 smart contracts

Rust Advantages:

  • Native performance comparable to C/C++
  • Memory safety guarantees
  • Rich ecosystem for cryptographic libraries
  • Perfect for zkSNARK computation pipelines
