zkBob

Description sourced from DeFiLlama's protocol metadata; teams submit their own copy when listing.

zkBob is published as a versioned release inside the Zkbob_ protocol family. Releases inside the same family typically share governance, brand, and large parts of the audit history, but each version can run materially different contract logic — a release labelled v2 or v3 is not just a UI refresh. Newer versions inside a family typically launch with their own audit cycle and parameter set, so do not assume the previous release's safety record carries over without checking the linked audit reports.

Fork lineage and parent-protocol relationships are tracked by DeFiLlama for security and audit-history attribution; a fork inherits the upstream design but not necessarily the upstream audits or governance.

zkBob operates on 3 networks (Polygon, Optimism, Tron), keeping its surface area narrower than chain-agnostic peers. Roughly 100% of its on-chain value sits on just three networks (Polygon, Optimism, Tron), so a fault on any one of them would affect a large slice of users.
