The problem

Every payment on Solana
is public forever.

01Transfers are permanent, indexed, searchableanyone can screenshot your money
02Salaries, payments, treasury: exposedcompetitors, data brokers, anyone
03Nobody opted into total transparencyso money stays off-chain today

Why now

Money is moving on-chain.
In public.

The wave
$320B stablecoins. $4.5T moved every quarter.
  • Sept 2026: private money ships on Solana mainnet: payroll first, category validated
  • People want money on-chain. They can't accept it in public
The field
Private money already has real flow.
  • Privacy Cash: $500M+ routed, $139k in fees (DefiLlama)
  • Cloak: private payroll live on Solana mainnet since Sept 2026
  • Umbra: shielded pools + private vesting on Solana
  • $957M+ locked across 47 privacy protocols (DefiLlama)

Why we win

Fast proofs.
Fraction of the cost.

Measured speed
0.6–1.4s in-browser. Measured, not promised.
  • Aztec ≈ 6.8s · Zcash ≈ 40s · Railgun seconds
  • 136k CU per transfer: 30 to 45% of what others in the space burn
  • 65 KB on-chain program: proof verification at Solana cost
Built different
Everything in-house. Everything ours.
  • Program, circuits, SDK, relayer: all built in-house
  • Payroll already runs on it: crash-safe, one signature, can't double-pay
  • Whole stack built from zero, in months
