Privacy by design: Layrs is built on the principle that financial privacy is a fundamental right. The Protocol's core architecture — zero-knowledge proofs verified via zkVerify on Horizen L3 — ensures your on-chain positions are shielded by mathematics, not promises. This Policy explains what data exists outside the blockchain and how we handle it.
This Privacy Policy explains how Layrs Protocol ("Layrs," "we," "us," "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our Protocol, web interfaces, and related services. This Policy applies to layrs.xyz, app.layrs.xyz, and any other Layrs-operated web properties.
We are committed to data minimization: we collect only what is necessary to operate the Protocol safely and legally, and we do not sell your data.
| Category | Data | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Wallet address | Your public blockchain wallet address when you connect | Protocol interaction, sanctions screening, Shards tracking |
| Referral codes | Referral code you use or generate | Referral reward attribution |
| Task completions | Which Shards tasks you have completed | Shard reward calculation |
| Category | Data | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Log data | IP address, browser type, pages visited, timestamp | Security, abuse prevention, analytics |
| Device data | Operating system, screen size, browser version | Interface optimization |
| Usage data | Features used, navigation patterns, error logs | Product improvement |
| Cookies | Session tokens, preference settings | Interface functionality |
All blockchain transactions are public by nature of the underlying networks (Horizen L3, Base L2). However, Layrs' zero-knowledge architecture shields:
What remains public on-chain includes: your wallet address (when initiating transactions), proof hashes, nullifiers, and commitments (which are cryptographically unlinkable to amounts without the private witness).
When you connect a wallet, we perform automated screening of your wallet address against:
This screening is performed to comply with applicable law. The result (pass/fail) is processed in real time. We do not store your wallet address in connection with screening results beyond what is required for audit and compliance purposes.
We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, or sell it to third parties.
We share information only in these limited circumstances:
We use minimal cookies for:
We do not use third-party advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or behavioral profiling. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some Protocol functionality may be affected.
The Protocol app uses your browser's local storage to persist:
This data is stored only on your device and is not transmitted to our servers unless you take actions that require server-side processing.
| Data Type | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Log data (IP, browser) | 90 days, then automatically deleted |
| Analytics data | 13 months in aggregated form; individual events deleted after 90 days |
| Sanctions screening records | As required by applicable AML/sanctions law (typically 5 years) |
| Shards and task data | Until TGE, then migrated to on-chain records; 1 year after TGE |
| Support correspondence | 3 years after last contact |
We implement technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including:
No system is perfectly secure. In the event of a data breach that materially affects your privacy, we will notify affected users and relevant authorities as required by law.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal data. Given the minimal data we collect, these primarily apply to web analytics and log data:
Note: Blockchain data (on-chain transactions, proof hashes) is immutable by design and cannot be deleted.
To exercise your rights, contact us via @layrslab on X or GitHub.
The Protocol is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to delete it.
Layrs operates globally. If you are located in a jurisdiction with data protection laws (such as the EU/EEA under GDPR), your data may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions with different privacy laws. We take steps to ensure adequate protection for such transfers, including using standard contractual clauses where required.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date and, for material changes, provide notice through the Protocol interface. Your continued use of the Protocol after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
