Zero-knowledge credit proofs for private DeFi lending on Ethereum
The user is asking for the project description again for PrivateScore, but now for Ethereum instead of Solana. They already asked me to update it for Ethereum earlier, and I provided a description. They seem to just want the description text itself to copy/paste. This is not a research task - this is just asking me to provide the description I already wrote. I should just give them the clean description text without any preamble.DonePrivateScore is a zero-knowledge credit verification protocol built on Ethereum that enables borrowers to prove their creditworthiness without revealing sensitive financial data. Traditional DeFi lending requires either over-collateralization or complete financial disclosure. PrivateScore solves this by using Noir ZK circuits to generate cryptographic proofs that verify credit eligibility while keeping the underlying data private. Core ZK Circuits:
Score Threshold: Prove your credit score exceeds a minimum (e.g., 700+) without revealing the exact number DTI Ratio: Prove debt-to-income ratio is healthy using division-free arithmetic (debt × 10000 ≤ income × max_dti) Payment History: Prove on-time payment rate meets requirements without exposing transaction counts Creditworthy (Composite): Combine multiple proofs with a master commitment for comprehensive verification Score Improved: Prove credit score has increased between two time periods for tier upgrades
Technical Architecture:
Pedersen hash commitments bind private values to public proofs Division-free constraint design for ZK-friendly arithmetic Solidity smart contracts for on-chain verification and lending pool management TypeScript SDK for proof generation and wallet integration
Use Cases:
Under-collateralized DeFi loans based on verified credit history Privacy-preserving KYC for institutional lending pools Tiered interest rates without exposing borrower financials Credit improvement verification for reduced collateral requirements
Frontend & SDK (TypeScript/React) The TypeScript SDK wraps @noir-lang/noir_js for client-side proof generation. Users connect via RainbowKit/wagmi, fetch their encrypted credit data, and generate proofs locally—private inputs never leave the browser. Notable Hacks:
Commitment chaining: Each circuit output can feed into another circuit's public input, enabling composable proofs Basis points everywhere: All percentages use 10000 basis points to avoid floating-point issues in ZK Timestamp binding: Score commitments include timestamps to prevent temporal attacks (proving "improvement" by swapping old/new)
