The Problem

The Temporal Privacy Gap

Blockchain transparency is a double-edged sword. While transaction content can be encrypted, timing metadata remains fully exposed.

Current State

  • ×Transaction timestamps are publicly visible
  • ×Trading patterns can be analyzed and front-run
  • ×Vesting schedules expose strategic intentions
  • ×DAO voting windows reveal governance strategies

With Tempus Snow

  • Prove timing without revealing exact timestamps
  • Unlinkable temporal proofs prevent pattern analysis
  • Private vesting with verifiable compliance
  • Confidential governance with provable deadlines
Tempus Snow Privacy Guarantee
tx ∈ Blockchain: Verify(π, trange) = true Know(texact) =
For all transactions, verify timing within a range while exact timestamp remains unknown

Temporal Privacy Architecture

How Tempus Snow protects when your transactions occur while maintaining full verifiability.

Time Oracle Layer
Decentralized time attestation with Byzantine fault tolerance

T
∀t ∈ T: BFT(t) → consensus

Proof Generation
zkSNARK circuits generate cryptographic proofs of temporal events

π = Prove(pk, x, w) | t ∈ [t₀, t₁]

On-Chain Verification
Verify timing without revealing transaction details

Verify(vk, x, π) → {0,1}

Privacy Guarantees
Zero-knowledge of content, unlinkable temporal proofs

Ø
∄ link(π₁, π₂) ∧ ZK(content)

Frequently Asked Questions

Technical details about the Tempus Snow protocol and temporal privacy

What is temporal privacy and why does it matter?
Temporal privacy protects the timing metadata of blockchain transactions. While traditional privacy solutions focus on hiding transaction contents, they leave timestamps fully exposed. This allows adversaries to perform timing analysis, front-running attacks, and pattern recognition. Tempus Snow uses zero-knowledge proofs to prove that events occurred within specific time ranges without revealing exact timestamps.
How do Tempus Snow proofs work technically?
Tempus Snow uses Plonk zkSNARKs with KZG polynomial commitments. When you submit a transaction, our circuits generate a proof that attests to timing constraints (e.g., 'this transaction occurred between block X and Y') without revealing the exact block or timestamp. The proof is verified on-chain in ~100ms and costs approximately 0.001 SOL.
What time oracles does Tempus Snow use?
Tempus Snow aggregates time attestations from multiple decentralized oracle networks including Chainlink and Pyth. We use a Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus mechanism that requires 2/3+ agreement among oracles before accepting a time attestation. This ensures accurate and manipulation-resistant timing data.
Is Tempus Snow audited?
Yes. Our smart contracts and zkSNARK circuits have been audited by OtterSec. The audit reports are publicly available in our documentation. We also run an ongoing bug bounty program with rewards up to $100,000 for critical vulnerabilities.
What is the Snowball Protocol?
The Snowball Protocol is our automated reward system that uses transaction fees to fuel continuous market buybacks and distribute privatized holder rewards. 10% of fees are frozen and airdropped to random holders every 5 minutes using zero-knowledge proofs, ensuring complete anonymity for reward recipients.
Can Tempus Snow be used for compliance?
Absolutely. Tempus Snow is designed with regulatory compliance in mind. You can generate proofs that demonstrate timing compliance (e.g., 'trade executed during market hours', 'action taken within deadline') without exposing sensitive transaction details. This enables privacy-preserving regulatory reporting.
