# Overview of the Protocol The Zodor Protocol aims to tokenize real-world assets on the Maskade blockchain (Avalanche L1), providing users with a decentralized and transparent means to invest in diverse assets. It utilizes Security tokens (ST) for the tokenization process, symbolizing ownership in specific real-world assets.\ \ Moreover, the protocol distinguishes itself by integrating advanced cryptographic techniques, particularly **Paillier Homomorphic Encryption (PHE)**, to facilitate private transactions. This enhancement not only emphasizes our dedication to privacy but also bolsters the security framework of the protocol.\ \ Additionally, the protocol benefits from the **Avalanche L1** (previously known as Avalanche Subnet) , which boosts its security, scalability, and speed. This means it can handle lots of transactions quickly and securely, making it a reliable choice for investors in the digital asset world. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
