Implementations

• Built on, according to Crypto Briefing (1-6-2021):

"The project will support zAssets across several blockchains, known as “peerchains.” Panther’s peerchains will initially include Ethereum, Polkadot, Solana, Cosmos, Flare, Binance Smart Chain, and Avalanche."

How it works

• From Crypto Briefing (1-6-2021):

"The protocol will allow users to deposit cryptocurrencies from a variety of chains and mint collateralized synthetic assets called zAssets. Each zAsset will be private. zAssets will use zk-SNARKs, a type of cryptographic proof that shows someone possesses a piece of information without revealing it.

Besides zAssets, the project also plans to implement several dark pools called “Panther Pools.” These will be used to gather liquidity and execute trades. Those who contribute liquidity to the pools, known as “privacy miners,” will be rewarded with the Panther network’s native token, ZKP."

Compliance

• From Crypto Briefing (1-6-2021):

"As per the project’s litepaper, Panther Pools will enable institutional and retail users to obfuscate and transact compliantly on peerchains using the help of zAssets. Panther can also be deployed in a compliant way on any public blockchain through “selective private disclosures” so that financial privacy can be balanced with regulations."

Pros and Cons

Cons

• Took funding from MoonWhale which according to ZachXBT mainly funds cash grabs and straight up scams (10-12-2021). Although this not directly means that this project is then also scammy, it does mean that the founders did not vest their VCs well.
