Swap execution comparison

Orkid vs Axiom (halo2browser)

TL;DR: In-browser Halo2 infrastructure for client-side proofs. The fastest client-side ZK prover in the market. Proofs generated locally — your data never leaves your device. Orkid provides a production-ready, integrated ZK prover with sub-50ms proof generation, pre-built privacy modes, and integration with the swap execution and compliance stack. Axiom gives you the toolkit; Orkid gives you the product.

Where Axiom (halo2browser) leads

Zero-Knowledge Proofs

Axiom (halo2browser) has its own strengths. Here is where it performs well:

  • Open-source toolkit with active community.
  • In-browser proof generation — client-side privacy model.
  • Well-regarded in the ZK developer community.
  • Halo2-based — battle-tested proof system.

Where Orkid leads

Transparent execution and surplus return

The fastest client-side ZK prover in the market. Proofs generated locally — your data never leaves your device.
