Every Penumbra client includes a "view service" that acts as a personal RPC, scanning, decrypting, and locally indexing all of the transactions visible to a specific wallet. Queries about your private state are served locally, queries about public state go to a fullnode.

@ghazni1010 @penumbrazone the syncing is actually reading all the data from every block and pulling out your private data. They’ve optimized the hell out of this and it’s one of the best parts of penumbra. They’ve thought deeply about the ux around private data in a way I haven’t seen in any other project

Thrilled to hear that @MariusMargulus (Penumbra Labs) and @weijie_eth ( @__geometrydev__ ) won a ZPrize for the fastest WebGPU multiscalar multiplication! Penumbra’s end-to-end privacy relies on doing ZK proving locally on the user’s device, and making this faster is key to UX.

Unfortunately, there still isn't a good single source of truth for these details. The IBC specs don't describe everything, and sometimes contradict the deployed behavior in ibc-go. So we had to do a lot of spelunking to build our IBC implementation.

Interchain Privacy is Here. The Penumbra testnet now integrates IBC and ICS-20 token transfers, bringing privacy to the Interchain: decentralized, permissionless token transfers from any IBC-compatible chain directly into and out of Penumbra's multi-asset shielded pool.

Privacy is key to unlocking the future of crypto. Real-world coordination requires control over information disclosure, yet existing systems broadcast all information to all participants all the time.

@MarcinMikus @callum_and1 @SecretNetwork we’re initially focused super narrowly on being a private dex app chain — private programmability would be cool, but it’s not 100% clear how to do it with ZK instead of SGX, and secret network already exists for that :)
