We're not competing with privacy chains — we're the compliance layer

Hey Product Hunt — we're the team behind Nullroot Protocol, live on mainnet as of this week.

Quick context: every crypto transaction is a permanent public record tied to your identity. The old answer was mixers like Tornado Cash — which got sanctioned, exploited, and shut down, taking ordinary users' privacy with it. Our answer is different in kind, not degree: a zero-knowledge pool where every deposit is screened against OFAC sanctions lists before it can enter.

Sanctioned funds never touch the system, so regulators have no reason to attack it — and everyone else gets real privacy through a ZK proof instead of a promise.

The question we keep circling, and the one we'd genuinely love this community's take on:

Privacy advocates say any screening is a slippery slope. Compliance folks say unscreened privacy is dead on arrival.

We think the middle path — screening enforced by open-source contracts, not a company — is the only design that survives both. Are we right, or does "compliant privacy" end up satisfying nobody?

Brutal honesty appreciated. We built this in public and we can take it. Happy to answer anything about the ZK architecture, the trust model, or why we chose Robinhood Chain first.
