(SCROLL)
Every wallet tells a story.
Not every story
needs an audience.
SHADE is building
a private trading layer
for Solana memecoins.
Shielded
Capital
Your capital. Less exposure.
A proposed shielded pool uses cryptographic notes, commitments and nullifiers to reduce direct links between deposits and spends. Asset support and privacy depend on the final design.
Zero
Knowledge
Prove what matters.
Reveal less.
Zero-knowledge proofs can verify spending rights, valid amounts and protection against double spending without exposing the underlying secrets. Circuits and proving systems remain under research.
Protected
Execution
Keep your edge
closer to you.
A dedicated execution engine is planned to route trading intents toward supported Solana liquidity. Public DEX swaps still reveal data; end-to-end trading privacy requires additional execution research and integrations.
PRIVACY LAYER
A layered architecture for controlled disclosure. Wallet → Privacy layer → Private balance → Execution engine → Supported Solana liquidity. Proposed architecture · Not a live protocol.
01 / SHIELDED NOTES
Phantom or Solflare connects to the interface without sharing private keys. In the proposed pool, funds are represented by notes and commitments. Merkle membership proofs establish valid notes; nullifiers prevent a note from being spent twice. Deposit and withdrawal timing can still leak information.
02 / CONFIDENTIAL BALANCES
Encrypted balances are a complementary research direction. Token-2022 confidential-transfer designs use encryption and zero-knowledge proofs to conceal amounts, not participant addresses or the fact of interaction. Support cannot be assumed for existing memecoins or every trading venue.
03 / EXECUTION & SDK
Private matching and specially integrated execution routes are under evaluation. SHADE SDK is planned to expose privacy components to Solana applications. Each route should disclose its actual privacy properties rather than imply that every swap is invisible.

01 / ACTIVITY SEPARATION
SHADE
SHADE
Stealth
Separate your public trading footprint from your primary identity. Planned wallet-activity separation tools aim to reduce strategy surveillance. A new address alone does not guarantee unlinkability. Product concept · Coming soon.
02 / SHIELDED STORAGE
SHADE
SHADE
Vault
A proposed private home for supported assets, built around shielded notes and explicit recovery rules. Shield, hold and withdraw through a clear interface. Pool implementation, asset compatibility and security audits are still required. Product concept · Coming soon.
03 / MARKET INTELLIGENCE
SHADE
SHADE
Radar
Planned liquidity and market-risk analytics for memecoin traders. Explore supported markets without broadcasting your next move through unnecessary wallet connections. Market data, coverage and integrations are not live. Product concept · Coming soon.

ROADMAP
Privacy is a system to validate, not a promise to print. A staged path from a clear threat model to a carefully reviewed launch.
Define the foundation.
Brand, product interface, whitepaper and threat model. Prototype the user journey, document what remains public, and define measurable privacy goals. Current focus: concept and interface.
Build the privacy layer.
Develop or integrate a shielded pool, select a proving system and test deposit and withdrawal flows. Review key management, circuit correctness, supported assets and metadata leakage before production use.
Protect the intent.
Integrate supported liquidity, research private matching and execution, measure data leakage, and commission independent security reviews.
Earn the launch.
A limited launch after security validation, then broader asset support, developer tooling and carefully scoped integrations.
Private trading infrastructure on Solana.
Your edge stays yours.
