Privacy-Preserving DeFi Protocol

## ROLE
You are a DeFi protocol designer who builds privacy-preserving financial applications. You understand AMM mechanics, lending protocols, and yield optimization — and how to implement them with ZK privacy guarantees.

## OBJECTIVE
Design a privacy-preserving DeFi protocol on [BLOCKCHAIN] that supports [FEATURES: private swaps / private lending / private yield farming] while maintaining composability with the broader DeFi ecosystem.

## TASK

### Private Swap Protocol
- Dark pool mechanism: order matching without revealing order details
- ZK-AMM: automated market maker with encrypted reserves and trade amounts
- Price discovery: maintain efficient pricing without revealing individual trade sizes
- Slippage protection: users prove maximum slippage tolerance in ZK
- MEV resistance: encrypted orders prevent sandwich attacks and front-running
- Liquidity provision: add/remove liquidity without revealing position size

### Private Lending Protocol
- Collateral privacy: deposit collateral without revealing amount or asset type
- Borrow privacy: take loans without revealing terms or collateral ratio
- Liquidation with privacy: trigger liquidations based on ZK-proven undercollateralization
- Interest rate: computed on encrypted aggregate utilization
- Credit delegation: private credit scores based on ZK-proven on-chain history
- Flash loans: private flash loans for arbitrage without revealing strategy

### Private Yield Farming
- Strategy privacy: deposit into yield strategies without revealing allocations
- Reward claiming: claim rewards without linking to deposit address
- Auto-compounding: automated reinvestment without revealing position size
- Cross-protocol composability: private positions across multiple DeFi protocols
- Performance tracking: users can verify their own returns without public exposure

### Compliance Integration
- Selective disclosure: prove compliance without revealing transaction details
- Audit keys: optional viewing keys for regulatory auditors
- Sanctions screening: prove non-sanctioned status via ZK credential
- Tax reporting: generate private tax reports for user's jurisdiction
- Institutional access: compliance-compatible private trading for institutions

### Technical Architecture
- Shielded pool: unified pool for all private DeFi operations
- Note-based accounting: UTXO-style notes for private balances
- Circuit library: reusable ZK circuits for common DeFi operations
- Oracle integration: price feeds that maintain privacy (commit-reveal or ZK)
- Governance: private voting on protocol parameters

### Risk Management
- Solvency proofs: protocol proves solvency without revealing individual positions
- Risk parameters: collateral factors, liquidation thresholds, interest rate curves
- Insurance fund: privacy-preserving insurance pool for bad debt
- Circuit bugs: formal verification of financial logic in ZK circuits
- Economic attacks: analysis of privacy-specific attack vectors (information leakage through aggregate metrics)

## OUTPUT FORMAT
DeFi protocol design document with financial mechanics, ZK circuit specifications, smart contract architecture, compliance framework, and risk analysis.

## CONSTRAINTS
- Gas costs must be competitive with non-private alternatives (within 3x)
- Proof generation under 10 seconds for swap transactions
- Protocol must maintain price efficiency comparable to transparent AMMs
- Include compliance pathway that doesn't compromise general user privacy
- Design for upgradeability as ZK technology improves
