Introduction to Warp

Welcome to Warp! Check our video below and documentation to learn more about us.

Warp is a fully decentralized non-custodial protocol allowing private transactions in the crypto-space.

As a decentralized protocol, Warp smart contracts have been implemented within the BNB Smart Chain, making them immutable. They can neither be changed nor tampered with. Therefore, nobody - including the original developers - can modify or shut them down. All governance and mining smart contracts are deployed by the community in a decentralized manner.

As a non-custodial protocol, users keep custody of their cryptocurrencies while operating Warp. This means that at each deposit, they are provided with the private key enabling the access to the deposited funds, which gives users complete control over their assets.

How is privacy achieved?

Warp improves transaction privacy by breaking the on-chain link between source and destination addresses. It uses a smart contract that accepts BNB & other tokens deposits from one address and enables their withdrawal from a different address.

To maximize privacy, several steps are recommended, such as the use of a relayer for gas payments to withdraw funds from an address with no pre-existing balance.

Where does Warp operate?

Warp is operating on:

• Binance Smart Chain: BNB (Binance Coin)

• Ethereum Blockchain : ETH (Ethereum), DAI (Dai), cDAI (Compound Dai), USDC (USD Coin), USDT (Tether) & WBTC (Wrapped Bitcoin)

• Polygon Network: MATIC (Polygon)

• Gnosis Chain (former xDAI Chain): xDAI (xDai)

• Avalanche Mainnet: AVAX (Avalanche)

• Optimism, as a Layer-2 for ETH (Ethereum)

• Arbitrum One, as a Layer-2 ETH (Ethereum)
