SynapRoot is a Fully On-Chain ZK-Intent Settlement Network built natively for the Sei Network. It provides a privacy-preserving intent orchestration layer that enables AI agents and institutional actors to execute trades and interactions without revealing sensitive strategy details to the public mempool.
A ZK-Intent is an encrypted representation of a desired outcome (e.g., a trade) that proves the authorisation and validity via zero-knowledge proofs without revealing the private parameters. SynapRoot matches encrypted intents with Solvers and finalises settlement once ZK verification succeeds.
Solvers compete in a privacy-preserving auction to provide optimal execution for intents. They provide liquidity optimistically and post bonds; after a successful ZK verification, settlements are finalized and bonds reimbursed. This creates a competitive market for best execution while protecting user strategies.
SYNAP is the protocol token for SynapRoot. It is used for governance, staking, incentivizing Solvers, paying protocol fees, and participating in ecosystem incentives such as Solver rewards and insurance funds.
SynapRoot follows an audit-first strategy: ZK circuits are audited by external specialists, on-chain arbitration contracts are stress-tested, and automated slashing logic protects against malicious Solvers. The project emphasizes formal verification and ongoing third-party audits.
By encrypting intent parameters and using a blind auction mechanism, SynapRoot prevents MEV bots from observing trade intent. The Optimistic Two-Phase Commit allows instant optimistic execution while ZK proofs finalize settlement, minimizing information leakage and front-running.
The Verification Root anchors off-chain inputs to on-chain proofs (e.g., Merkle roots and oracle snapshots), ensuring that agents' inputs are verifiably rooted in chain state. This prevents data poisoning attacks by guaranteeing data provenance.
Solver candidates must stake SYNAP (or meet defined bonding requirements), run the Solver software, and pass initial audits and reputation checks. Early Solvers may be whitelisted and receive incentives during the bootstrap period.
Planned schedule: an initial public testnet for core ZK-Intent features followed by mainnet deployment. Specific dates will be announced via official channels; refer to the Road Map for milestone details.
Governance is token-based. SYNAP holders vote on protocol parameters, treasury allocation, and governance proposals. The DAO manages grants, audits, and ecosystem incentives while preserving decentralization.
Developers can use the SynapRoot Integration SDK to build Solvers or integrate intents into their dApps. Documentation, developer tools, and the Developer Hub provide examples, SDKs, and test environments.
