# The Mixer (Incognito)

Incognito is a privacy tool known as a mixer, which we developed to utilise zkSNARKs. It is a privacy-masking tool that allows users to send and receive cryptocurrencies anonymously, whilst keeping their identity and transaction history hidden. \
\
Incognito works by breaking the link between the original sender and receiver of a transaction through a process of obfuscation. ZkSNARKs, which stands for Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge, is a type of technology that enables proof of a statement without revealing the statement itself. In the context of a crypto mixer, it allows the verification of a transaction's validity without revealing any information about the sender or receiver.
