# axol.io

> Open-source Ethereum infrastructure: validators across 19 networks, an Elixir execution client (Mana), a privacy-preserving DEX (Xochi), and security primitives. We run nodes, write clients, and ship tools.

axol.io operates production validators, oracles, and solvers, and incubates open-source projects funded by [Xochi](https://xochi.fi). The Mana client exists so that no Ethereum supermajority client has unchecked correctness; the BEAM runtime allows live signature-verification swaps without restarting validators. Xochi is a private DEX with zero-knowledge compliance proofs, live across five chains. We publish ERC-8262, a ZK compliance oracle standard.

## Projects

- [Mana](https://github.com/axol-io/mana): Ethereum execution client in Elixir. Apache 2.0 + MIT.
- [Xochi](https://xochi.fi): ETH's friendly dark pool. Intent-based, ZK-compliance-gated, settles to ERC-5564 stealth addresses or Aztec L2 shielded notes. Source-available.
- [ZK Compliance Oracle (ERC-8262)](https://github.com/xochi-fi/ERC-8262): Six proof types (sanctions, risk, structuring, retroactive proof-of-innocence). CC BY-SA.
- [Xochi SDK](https://github.com/xochi-fi/xochi-sdk): Reference implementation of ERC-8262. TypeScript, Noir circuits compiled to UltraHonk. MIT.
- [Raxol](https://github.com/DROOdotFOO/raxol): Payment routing for AI agents in Elixir; x402 protocol, agent-to-agent settlement. MIT.
- [Open Primitives](https://github.com/xochi-fi/xochi-sdk): ERC-5564 stealth addresses composed with ERC-4337 account abstraction. MIT.
