Background and History
Railgun was designed to meet the growing demand for privacy in decentralized finance (DeFi). With increasing concerns over transparency in transactions, Railgun employs advanced privacy technologies like zk-SNARKs to hide transaction details while allowing seamless interaction with DeFi protocols. Over time, the project expanded to support staking and governance through the RAIL token, enabling the community to participate in protocol upgrades and decisions.
