SERO describes itself as a privacy protection platform for Decentralized Applications. It aims to become a next-generation privacy blockchain that supports the smart contracts and enables the issuance of privacy coins and anonymous assets. SERO platform reportedly allows developers to issue privacy coins and use them in DApps.
SERO claims to be the world's first privacy coin Protocol supporting smart contracts using Zero-Knowledge Proof. SERO adopts an innovative UTXO+Account mixed mode. It says that it's also the world's first Privacy Protection platform which allows developers to issue privacy coins and use them in DApps, which means DApps can have Privacy features.
SERO built the Zero-Knowledge Proof encryption library "Super-ZK" which is 20+ times faster than the latest zk-SNARKs (Sapling upgrade) that Zcash uses.
