# Introduction
Networks face a difficult balance:
* **High scalability**,
* **Low transaction cost**, and
* **Strong privacy guarantees.**
Most networks optimize only one or two of these properties, forcing developers and users into trade-offs.
**Netomi** introduces a novel approach: a **stateless zero-knowledge Layer-2** on Binance Smart Chain (BSC), enabling:
* Private transfers
* Hyper-scalable global payments
* Near-zero state storage overhead
* Full EVM/BSC compatibility
Netomi is designed for large-scale user adoption, merchant integration, and institutional privacy requirements—delivering privacy and performance simultaneously.
