Privacy Features Explained
Raven House leverages Aztec Network's zero-knowledge proof technology to offer advanced privacy features for NFT trading.
Understanding Privacy in NFTs
Traditional NFT marketplaces operate on transparent blockchains where all transactions are visible to everyone. Raven House changes this paradigm by offering:
- Privacy-preserving transactions: Hide transfer details from public view
- Confidential ownership: Shield your NFT holdings
How Privacy Works on Raven House
Zero-Knowledge Proofs
Raven House uses zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) through the Aztec Network to enable privacy. ZKPs allow one party to prove to another that a statement is true without revealing any information beyond the validity of the statement itself.
For NFTs, this means:
- You can prove you own an NFT without revealing which NFT
- You can transfer an NFT without making the transaction public
- You can verify eligibility for airdrops or whitelists without exposing your entire wallet
Public vs Private State
NFTs on Raven House can exist in two states:
Public State:
- Visible on the blockchain
- Similar to traditional NFTs
- Full transparency of ownership and transfers
Private State:
- Ownership information is shielded
- Transfers are confidential
- Only the owner can prove ownership
Privacy Features in Practice
Private NFT Transfers
When transferring an NFT privately:
- The transaction details are encrypted
- Zero-knowledge proofs verify the validity of the transfer
- The NFT moves to the recipient's private balance
- No public record of the specific NFT transferred is created
