The Findora Medium Content Guide

Documentation can be difficult to sort through, so we created a primer to help you quickly grasp the basics of Findora.

We categorize the articles into the following five topics:

1. Technology Milestones
2. Community & User Guides
3. Staking and Validators
4. Ecosystem Progress
5. Thought leadership

This primer will be continually updated to reflect the most recent developments. We hope this makes it a little easier to navigate all the content about Findora!

Technology Milestones

Findora scales Ethereum privacy. But how does it do that?

Findora leverages revolutionary blockchain architecture with advanced cryptographic technology. Using both a UTXO ledger and an EVM ledger bridged through atomic transfer (Prism Transfer), Findora is a layer one blockchain optimized for zero-knowledge compatibility and programmability and is one of the most production-ready zk projects in web3. It acts as a privacy oracle for any EVM-compatible chain rather than just an L2 scaling solution — even though Findora can fill that need too in terms of scalability.

• Great places to start: wiki , linktree, developer portal, Media Factsheet & brand assets.

• Intro to Findora’s Prism Transfer; The Prism Transfer Workshop; A Deep-Dive into how Prism works and the token standards used.
• Intro to Rialto Bridge; Rialto Bridge Workshop; Bridge Architecture Deepdive; Bridge Tutorial.
• Technology milestones: adding Ethereum compatibility; Optimizing Findora’s TPS on Its EVM Layer;
• Triple Masking Launch: coming soon!

About Findora

Scaling privacy for the future of Web3.

Findora builds privacy through advanced zero-knowledge proof cryptography. An innovative layer-1, it combines a native UTXO ledger optimized for privacy with an EVM extension for programmability and interoperability. Developers can leverage either model as they build dApps with auditable privacy.
