Labyrinth - a compliant privacy protocol for defi activities

by Mitul Gajera

Most recently, I co-founded Labyrinth, a multi-chain privacy platform that enables private transactions while ensuring compliance through a decentralized compliance network (Decom) and a simplified UX on the web app. Its plug-and-play SDK simplifies privacy integration for dApps, offering seamless usability to traders, DAOs, whales, and retail users alike. What began as a hackathon project evolved into a full-fledged product—we raised a pre-seed round in just a few weeks, launched on testnet, and tackled complex challenges in privacy, compliance, and UX. I drove the end-to-end product & design strategy, translating technical complexity into intuitive user experiences. I also built scalable design systems, and defined product roadmaps. Along the way, I worked on marketing initiatives, partnerships, and hiring for core engineering and marketing roles. Before Labyrinth, I led 0-1 product design for several Web3 initiatives, including non-custodial wallets, a global inflation dashboard, a financial data marketplace, a governance platform, a lending/borrowing service, and Flatcoin—designing across web, iOS, and Android. These experiences gave me a deep understanding of the broader DeFi ecosystem and the UX challenges in onboarding users to self-custody. which also helped me uncover key gaps in privacy and compliance, shaping my current work.
