Lunul: The Privacy Revolution


Introduction

Lunul is not just a blockchain—it’s a movement. In a world where privacy is compromised for convenience, Lunul redefines the rules, offering speed, scalability, and anonymity without compromise. It is the answer for those who believe freedom should be fundamental, not optional.


The Problem

  • Surveillance Economy: Every transaction, every interaction is tracked and cataloged. Blockchain networks have magnified this transparency, exposing users to unwarranted scrutiny.
  • Performance Trade-offs: Privacy-first blockchains often sacrifice speed and usability, leaving users to choose between functionality and freedom.
  • Fragmentation: Existing solutions fail to bridge the gap between ecosystems, leaving users stranded on isolated islands of technology.

The Solution

Lunul bridges the gap between privacy, performance, and interoperability:

  • Default Privacy: Every transaction on Lunul is anonymous, with details hidden by cutting-edge zero-knowledge proof technology.
  • Blazing Speed: Forked from Solana, Lunul processes over 65,000 transactions per second with sub-second finality.
  • Universal Connectivity: Native bridges allow seamless, private asset transfers across blockchains.

Why Lunul?
