Privacy

What is private, and what is not

Cryptographic confidentiality (hiding amounts and parties inside a transaction) is not the same as network anonymity (hiding who broadcast it). Cross-chain swaps and Pump.fun launches are not anonymous.

What can an observer see?

Solana swap (Jupiter)live

0 of 6 fields hidden by cryptography

Everything is on a public ledger forever. ANON adds no privacy to a Jupiter swap.

ANON zero-knowledge core

implemented

Pedersen commitments + 16-bit range proofs
MLSAG ring spends with key images (ring ≤ 8)
Stealth addresses, encrypted memos
Balance proof (no inflation)

Local testnet only. Not audited. Smaller anonymity set than Monero or Zcash.

Monero

RingCT with CLSAG ring signatures (16 members), stealth addresses and Bulletproofs+. Private by default.

Wallet integration blocked

Planned: client-side view-key scanning via a WASM wallet or your own monero-wallet-rpc. Needs a reviewed library; not built yet.

Zcash

Shielded pools (Sapling, Orchard/Halo 2) hide sender, recipient and amount from the whole pool. Transparent addresses are public.

Wallet integration blocked

Planned: lightwalletd with client-side proving (Zcash wallet SDKs). Needs a browser-ready, reviewed SDK; not built yet.
