Panther's Ecosystem Expansion After Mainnet

Panther Ecosystem
1

Hey all,

After a long development period, the Panther ecosystem is preparing for its Mainnet launch. As you might already know, Panther will first be deployed on Polygon. As a part of Panther’s go-to-market strategy (GTM) and ecosystem expansion, it makes sense to both the foundation as well as the community (afaik) to see Panther being deployed on multiple L1s/L2s so that more people can use it, more applications can be connected to it, and more TVL and traffic the protocol will have to increase its shielded pool privacy set.

Over the last few weeks, some of the biggest L1s in the space reached out to me. And, if there’s some help from their side when it comes to deployment (such as covering the dev costs for the foundation), then I think that everyone here would be super excited to see the (potential) announcements go out. Once again, it’s still early, but this gives us a chance to ask for YOUR input when it comes to Panther’s ecosystem roadmap. The foundation is here to support the protocol, and we would like to hear your thoughts on which L1/L2 you would like to see Panther being deployed upon, assuming that it’s A) technically possible, B) economically feasible.

Let us know! We are super excited and dedicated to supporting the Panther ecosystem the best way we can.

I would love to see a release on Algorand they are using RWAs in a big way in the space and I’m imagining someone trading real-world assets in a Zone on ZKP. I do understand they they require we reconfigure parts of the code but I think it would be incredible to have that be part of our ecosystem.

Posting this for a fellow telegram member just in case they don’t get to it.

multi-chain deployment (BNB, Solana)

And

Partnerships with Aave, Curve, Lido, Uniswap

-Offer “Panther Privacy Mode” as an optional feature in those dApps

Top usecase is: panther-USDT

After that, integration with DeFi projects with the most volume.

To build on the idea of expanding beyond Polygon, I’ve put together a chain-by-chain view of where Panther could deploy next, along with the top dApps on each network that would make strong integration partners. The goal isn’t just to go multi-chain for the sake of it, but to position Panther’s privacy pools right where the liquidity, users, and activity are most concentrated.

Ethereum & Major L2s – The Liquidity Hubs
Aave v3 is a lending and borrowing giant with around $36.6B in TVL spread across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Polygon, Base, BNB Chain, Optimism, and zkSync. Uniswap remains the flagship AMM, holding roughly $306M TVL on Arbitrum alone, while Balancer offers flexible AMM pools with over $63M on Arbitrum. These are DeFi blue chips—integrating here would plug Panther directly into the deepest liquidity.

Arbitrum – Highest TVL Layer-2
GMX, a leader in perpetual and spot trading, has about $475M on Arbitrum and $515M in total across chains. Radiant Capital brings cross-chain lending capabilities that could pair well with privacy-wrapped collateral, and Camelot DEX serves as the main AMM and launchpad for Arbitrum-native projects. This ecosystem is tailor-made for showcasing Panther’s privacy tech in high-volume leveraged markets.

Avalanche – Fast and Flexible L1
Trader Joe is the dominant AMM with about $26M in TVL, while GMX’s Avalanche deployment adds another $34M. Benqi offers lending, liquid staking, and leveraged yield farming. With subnets and high-speed finality, Avalanche also allows easy expansion of integrations from Arbitrum to its own ecosystem.

BNB Chain – Retail User Magnet
PancakeSwap leads here with massive retail trading volume, while Venus Protocol provides lending and borrowing at scale. The large and active retail user base makes BNB Chain an ideal network for broadening Panther’s reach beyond DeFi’s core audience.

Solana – High-Throughput Frontier
Jupiter acts as the main swap aggregator, MarginFi is building a deep lending market, and Drift Protocol offers advanced perpetuals trading. Solana’s low fees and high speed, combined with its growing DeFi base, make it an attractive option if Panther leans into cross-chain privacy.

Hyperliquid – Trading-Focused Chain
Hyperdrive provides lending for traders, Hyperlend offers collateralized lending, and HarmonixFi focuses on yield optimization. Built for sub-second finality and high-frequency trading, Hyperliquid could be a strong fit for real-time, privacy-enabled market activity.

One other area likely to explode is Real World Assets. If there is sufficient funding in the feature for development, Panther’s privacy tech could fit perfectly here enabling compliant yet private transfers of tokenized assets. Some players in the space Panther might be able to partner up with would be Ondo Finance, MakerDAO, Centrifuge, and Securitize.

What do you guys for example think about Celestia? They aim to launch their EVM-compatible chain in November.

Why not, should be on our list - But the initial priority should be to focus on chains with the highest tvls and dapps.

There’s a balance here. New chains are more willing to fund integrations to fill out their ecosystem and generate more attention. Existing established ones are less incentivized (but not impossible) to fund. It is important both to deploy on chains that have high usage and those that can provide visibility + funding to help build out the ecosystem.
