What We Do
Ligero is a private payments infrastructure company building the confidential transaction layer that public blockchains have been missing. We enable compliant private payments using a zero-knowledge proof system, adopted by Google, with integrations into existing flows including payroll, remittance, RWA, and agentic payments.
The Problem
Every onchain payment, whether salary, settlement, or treasury transfer, is publicly visible by default. Any competitor, counterparty, or analytics firm can see who paid whom, how much, and when. Existing privacy solutions rely on obfuscation, mixing, or centralized intermediaries, none of which meet enterprise compliance requirements.
How It Works
Integration
SDK-based. Layers onto existing payment flows without rebuilding your stack. Ligero is chain-agnostic and live on Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, and Espresso.
