About Rift Today, over 90% of crypto ($12T/year) is traded on centralized exchanges, which act as middlemen for major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.

We built the first trustless crypto exchange that uses zero-knowledge proofs to enable peer-to-peer trading of any two assets, with significantly lower fees than centralized exchanges.

We recently raised a seed round from top crypto funds and are launching our public mainnet on Base in a few weeks.
