Nox

Privacy at the network layer. Nox hides who you are, what you send, and how you pay so no observer can link any of it back to you.

What Nox Does01
01

Hides Your IP

Your real address never touches the network.

Every packet is onion-encrypted and routed through three independent mix nodes. Each hop strips a layer, delays randomly, and forwards something unrecognizable. No one can trace it back to you.

02

Pays Without a Trace

Cover gas without revealing who you are.

A zero-knowledge proof shows you can pay without exposing your identity or what you’re paying for. Relay fees flow through a shielded pool with no on-chain link to you.

03

Routes You Securely

Every request mixed before it hits the network.

Transactions, RPC calls, queries. Everything passes through the mixnet. Services reply via anonymous return headers. They never learn your address.

How Mixing Works

Continuous
Poisson Mixing

Every packet enters a random delay queue at each hop. The output timing reveals nothing about the input. Real traffic, loop probes, and drop cover are indistinguishable on the wire.

Use Cases03
Primary Application

Private DeFi on Ethereum

Integrates with the Hisoka darkpool. Your client builds a ZK proof locally, Nox routes it through the mix network, and the exit node submits it to Ethereum. You never touch the chain directly.

How it works
State modelZK-UTXO Merkle tree (depth 32)
OperationsDeposit, withdraw, transfer, swap
Gas paymentZK proof, payer identity hidden
DeFi accessAdaptor contracts (e.g. Uniswap V3)
ExecutionAtomic verify + execute on-chain
Web3 Privacy

Query the chain without revealing yourself

Every RPC call exposes what you're looking at and where you're calling from. Nox routes queries through the mix network. The provider sees the exit node, never you.

What you can read privately
Account balancesAny address, any token
Contract stateStorage slots, view functions
Event logsHistorical and streaming
CostFree. Reads don't require payment
Infrastructure

Private by default at the wallet layer

Nox sits below the wallet. Every interaction is mixed before it reaches a node or relay. SDK drop-in, no UX change. The wallet just stops leaking who is using it.

Stratified Topology

Three layers of independent mix nodes, one from each per path

Clients build Sphinx packets locally and route through Entry, Relay, and Exit layers. Node discovery uses an on-chain registry where operators stake tokens and publish their public keys. Layer assignment is deterministic. All clients derive the same topology without coordination.

Private.
Unlinkable.
Unstoppable.
