Silent Protocol Launches 0VM on Ethereum: The Foundational Infrastructure Powering Global Privacy on Ethereum
With 0VM live and enabling Ghost Layer—the world’s first secure, global confidential value-transfer layer—Silent Protocol delivers on its mission: to encrypt Ethereum.
Silent Protocol – October 27, 2025 — Silent Protocol today announced the v1 mainnet launch of 0VM, its general-purpose zero-knowledge computing layer, now live on Ethereum.
This release delivers Anonymous Verification—a cryptographic breakthrough that finally solves the broken economics of private transaction relaying—and serves as the essential infrastructure powering Ghost Layer, Silent’s confidential value-transfer system.
Powered by 0VM, Ghost Layer is designed as a layer 1.5 – the world’s first secure value-transfer layer for Ethereum, built under the EZEE framework. Its flagship feature is a technical construct known as “TransferToNonSilent” that allows users to send encrypted funds to any externally owned account (EOA) confidentially which the receiver can claim later. This enables domain expansion.
This makes privacy universal, not opt-in—a radical departure from UTXO mixers or isolated privacy chains. But this breakthrough only works because of 0VM: without Anonymous Verification, there’s no way to pay for gas without exposing identity or fragmenting assets.
0VM stands to be one of the most important components of the Silent Protocol tech stack to encrypt the whole of Ethereum.
Why 0VM Is Non-Negotiable Infrastructure for Ethereum’s Privacy?
0VM’s Anonymous Verification—enabled by a decentralized Root Network using threshold ECDSA—gives relayers a cryptographic guarantee of payment without ever learning the user’s identity. This unlocks capabilities impossible under legacy relayer models like the gast network and Tornado Cash:
- Private NFT transfers: Relayers are paid from a separate paymaster contract—not from the NFT itself.
- Universal confidential payments: Transfer payment confidentially because gas is prepaid and verified off-payload.
- Censorship resistance: Any relayer can participate—no trusted intermediaries.
- Scalable privacy: v1 supports Anonymous Verification on Ethereum; multi-chain and decentralized proving coming next.
In short: Ghost Layer’s vision of global privacy collapses without 0VM. It is the trustless, decentralized engine that makes confidential, composable, and user-owned Ethereum transactions possible.
About Silent Protocol
Silent Protocol is building the privacy backbone for Ethereum’s next era of privacy. Its stack—anchored by 0VM and Ghost Layer—enables confidential, scalable, and user-owned on-chain interactions without sacrificing decentralization. Backed by Sora Ventures, Zee Prime, and Hypersphere, Silent is executing on a singular mission: to encrypt Ethereum.
