Dive into Common: Your One-Stop Shop for Privacy-First DeFi
Launches Premier Privacy Web Application with Record-Breaking Subsecond Verification Speeds for Arbitrum and Aleph Zero EVM Platforms
April 29th, 2025, Zug, Switzerland - Chainwire
Privacy is no longer a luxury but the new norm, and Common, the latest deployment in the DeFi arena, is making sure of that. This revolutionary platform, crafted on Aleph Zero's infrastructure, promises seamless, cross-chain privacy without compromising speed or user experience. Let's take a peek under the hood!
Common, Collaborating for Privacy
Common brings forth a groundbreaking Web App, launched in partnership with Common Labs Inc., responsible for its operation. The mobile version, slated for end-May rollout, will set the stage as the world's first privacy-preserving mobile app in the crypto space. This watershed moment redefines what secrecy in crypto should be—accessible, effortless, and universally supported. At launch, Common supports Arbitrum and Aleph Zero's EVM, with expansion plans to include Base, Ethereum, and additional ecosystems in the near future.
Privacy in Your Pocket
Common functions as the user-friendly interface for Aleph Zero's Shielder Network, a network of smart contracts, relayers, and zero-knowledge cryptography that facilitates private transactions across multiple chains. This tech infrastructure empowers users to safeguard their on-chain activity without relying on centralized exchanges.
Shielding transactions is the core experience, allowing users to stash their assets in private pools, breaking the connection between public wallet activities and future operations. With proving times zipping by in a fraction of a second performed directly on the device, Common delivers privacy without the usual wait times or technical hurdles. Unlike other privacy solutions, Common ensures full provenance, enabling compliance or auditing if necessary without mixing funds.
"Privacy shouldn't be a luxury in crypto. It should be the default," said Adam Gagol, Co-Founder of Aleph Zero and Co-Creator of Common Labs Inc. "We've spent years building the technical foundation to make that possible, and with Common, we're finally delivering it in a way that anyone can use, without plugins, without compromises, and without needing to trust a third party. Privacy becomes something you tap, not something you configure. This launch is just the beginning of building a truly private, multichain financial layer for web3."
Privacy, Anytime, Anywhere
The Common Web App integrates seamlessly with popular wallets such as MetaMask, Ledger (via MetaMask), or Rabby, requiring no migration and allowing users to dive right into trading. The Mobile App, dropping in May, will bring the same privacy benefits in a mobile-native experience. Fiat on-ramp support via Banxa and smooth dApp connectivity are yet more perks that make Common a hot pick for privacy-seekers.
Decentralization at Heart
As a non-custodial, fully decentralized platform, Common complies with core DeFi principles. The entire platform relies on open-source, audited smart contracts, allowing users to verify, rather than simply trust, the system.
A Brighter Future for Common
This launch marks the start of a larger rollout of Common's ecosystem. Upcoming features will enable:
- Shielded Yield: Generate yield on shielded assets through integrated strategies, all while keeping your wallet activity private.
- Smart Yield: Automated strategies allow users to set their strategy and have the system optimize their returns for an added layer of convenience.
- Staking Rewards: Stakers can align with the platform's growth by receiving a share of privacy fees and yield success fees.
- Multichain Privacy: Extend privacy support to essential EVM chains like Sonic, Berachain, Monad, and emerging Layer-2 networks.
- Seamless Private Bridging: Simplify multi-chain management by enabling private asset transfers between supported blockchains.
- Enhanced Fiat Access & Payments: Improve accessibility to/from TradFi via off-ramps, IBAN support, and crypto payment cards.
