0xbow develops privacy-oriented infrastructure for a more compliant decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape. Its products are designed to let people and organizations transact on-chain privately while helping prevent funds associated with illicit activity from entering compliant transaction groups.

The company’s Privacy Pools support private peer-to-peer transactions. Deposits are monitored through Know Your Transaction checks, and deposits that pass vetting may be included in an Association Set. The Association Set Provider (ASP) supplies the compliance infrastructure behind this approach, including transaction monitoring, configurable compliance options, and tools for demonstrating compliance without revealing a user’s identity or transaction note. Its open-source, modular design can be implemented by privacy protocols and other parties.

0xbow also offers Proof of Association, which enables users to show that withdrawal addresses are not linked to illicit activity while preserving privacy. The service is described as a compliance bridge for Tornado Cash. The company invites Layer 1 and Layer 2 ecosystems, privacy protocols, enterprises, and institutions to adopt or adapt its solutions.
