Panther Protocol

Go to pantherdao.app. Choose Polygon or Base for now. Ethereum appears as an option only after the DAO declares that Zone live.

Connect an EVM wallet and sign to generate your two public keys, one for spending and one for reading. The dApp also downloads Panther’s zero-knowledge circuits, which run locally in your browser, so let that finish before moving on.

Verify through the third-party compliance provider shown in the dApp, such as PureFi. Depending on the Zone, this covers identity verification, wallet risk screening and other eligibility checks. The provider issues a credential, and your browser then proves compliance with a zero-knowledge proof, so Panther itself does not store your personal data. PIP-26 set the attestation fee at 100 ZKP for KYC and 25 ZKP for KYT, and the DAO can change these, so confirm the current fee in the dApp.

Activate your zAccount to register it on-chain. New users receive a one-time voucher worth 1,000 PRP, and you claim it with a transaction that burns the voucher and credits the points. PIP-26 also set a 200 ZKP subsidy toward account activation from the protocol’s subsidy pool.

Deposit tokens to mint zAssets inside the Multi-Asset Shielded Pool. On Base, the supported assets are ZKP, cbBTC, ETH, USDC, AERO, ZORA, VIRTUAL, MORPHO and AAVE. Check the dApp for the current Polygon list. Each deposit earns a 0.01% PRP bonus, and the balance you keep shielded accrues PRPs over time at a 10% APY target. Daily limits are $25,000 for deposits and $100,000 for withdrawals.

Every transaction inside the pool earns a flat 10 PRP, whatever its size. Use zSwap to swap privately against Uniswap liquidity, choosing your bundler, processing speed and maximum slippage, or use the “Send” tab to move zAssets to another zAccount. When you withdraw back to a wallet, a 0.30% protocol fee applies on the withdrawn token.

Open the Rewards section and convert your available PRPs into ZKP through the one-sided AMM. Conversion only goes one way: you cannot turn ZKP back into PRPs. The rate shifts with how many users redeem and when the AMM is recharged, so check the quoted amount before confirming. The dApp also pays 50 to 100 PRP for triggering maintenance actions, like releasing ZKP into the AMM, once their thresholds are met.

Panther does not run a referral program. There is no referral code or invite link to enter, and anyone selling access or “boosted” invites is not connected to the protocol.

If you hold ZKP, vote on Panther Improvement Proposals on Snapshot. Only ZKP in your own wallet counts, not ZKP deposited in the shielded pool, so keep part of it outside if you want a say. Panther has not tied voting to rewards.
