Cryptos runs a full EVM alongside native Cosmos modules, with a shielded zero-knowledge lane for notes that never touch the public ledger — and a validator-custodied bridge to move Bitcoin and ERC-20 assets in and out.
Every module shares the same consensus and the same operators — no side chain, no separate trust assumption to evaluate.
Solidity contracts, standard JSON-RPC, existing tooling. Deploy exactly as you would on any EVM chain.
Native staking, on-chain governance, and a module system for chain-level features EVM alone can't express.
Client-proven notes and an encrypted mempool keep balances and transfers off the public ledger until you choose to reveal them.
Bitcoin custody via threshold Taproot signatures; ERC-20 assets move through validator-signed lock and release.
A multi-proposer consensus design removes the single-leader bottleneck that caps most chains — the target for this research program is upward of 25,000 tx/s per validator.
