About

zkBob is a zk-based privacy application that works with the BOB stablecoin. We’ve introduced a new Direct Deposit functionality into zkBob, where BOB can be sent directly from a smart contract on Polygon or Optimism into the privacy pool.

Ideas for implementations

Integration within open-source wallets
Apps for DAO accounting
Browser extension for zkBob
Donation/fundraising/tipping apps
Privacy for P2P micro-transactions
Integration with DEXs/bridges/aggregators

We are also open to novel use cases which make sense for privacy-preserving transactions

Acceptance Criteria

Creativity, novelty, usefulness for end users and implementation quality.
Importance of zkBob integration to the overall application/product (i.e. is it integral to app functionality, usefulness and purpose or is it an add-on without a lot of added value).
Coherent integrations between zkBob and other existing protocols/dApps are appreciated
Alignment with the BOB and zkBob ecosystem values of on-chain privacy protection within accepted limits.
Incorporate some UI functionality so that users can send BOB privately through a browser or mobile based application.
*extra credit will apply to solutions using other zkBob components on top of integration with direct deposits (zkBob SDK libraries, gift cards, compliance tooling, deep smart contract integrations, etc.)
