How Singularity’s Confidential DeFi Protocol Integrated Sablier

Singularity is a privacy-focused DeFi solution allowing its users to use DeFi protocols in a confidential manner. Singularity leverages zero-knowledge tech to make this possible, and to remain compliant, users are required to pass a KYC procedure when signing up.

This is especially helpful for institutions, that can now keep their on-chain activity private thanks to Singularity, while leveraging Singularity’s extensive privacy toolkit, including private OTC, staking, liquidity provision, and private AMM functionalities.

One of the obvious use cases for privacy in DeFi is vesting, and any form of token distribution as a whole. Crypto organizations who want to handle payroll on-chain, for example, have a major need for privacy. But one may also simply think of a grant program, for example, where privacy can be a major need.

This is why Singularity integrated the leading and most battle-tested on-chain vesting solution: Sablier.

Solution

Here’s why this integration was a perfect match:

1. Onchain Privacy: Singularity users can vest tokens and manage token distribution campaigns without revealing their wallets publicly. 
2. Compliance: Only KYC’d wallets can access Singularity. This integration allows for use cases like vesting, airdrops, etc. to happen privately, while still being compliant.
3. Security: Sablier’s extensively audited smart contracts provide the security required for high-value institutional transactions. Having been established since 2019 with no security vulnerabilities, Sablier is truly battle-tested.

Interview

What follows is an interview with Jemma Xu, Co-Founder and CEO at Singularity.

What was the primary motivation behind integrating Sablier into Singularity's platform?

Our motivation was to provide a compliant solution for private payments and vesting, a critical need for organizations handling sensitive financial data on-chain. By integrating with Sablier’s reliable and widely-used platform, we can offer a privacy layer that ensures these transactions remain confidential, fulfilling a key demand for our individuals and entities that desire such a solution.

In what ways do you see this integration benefiting your institutional clients?

Institutions want the benefits of permissionless DeFi, but they don’t always want everyone seeing what they are doing.This integration allows institutional clients to maintain commercial confidentiality  when managing payroll, token distributions and positions, and grants on-chain, which helps protect strategic data and meet compliance requirements. With Singularity's privacy features now on Sablier, users can execute secure, private transactions without compromising transparency or regulatory standards.

What unique challenges does Singularity face in offering confidential DeFi services, and how does Sablier help address them?

One challenge is balancing commercial confidentiality  with security and compliance, as institutions need all three. Sablier’s battle-tested, audited smart contracts provide a solid foundation for Singularity’s privacy features and complement Singularity's advanced zero knowledge technology ensuring private transactions are secure and compliant.

Conclusion

With this integration, Singularity is now positioned to serve as a leading confidential DeFi layer for token distribution. Through Sablier, Singularity users can get the benefits of DeFi without compromising on confidentiality or security. This integration shows how institutional DeFi platforms can leverage Sablier to meet complex, evolving needs in compliance, security, and privacy.
