The Kusama Shield project is a treasury funded project that has been developing a privacy protocol for assets on Kusama, Polkadot and Paseo. Being one of the first Zero Knowledge smart contract protocol on the hub. After some time of developing, the project is in need of a code audit, as we are dealing with production systems with real peoples assets.
