Your deposit becomes one note.
Shielding 12.5 SOL adds a note to the pool that only your key can read. Anyone can see the deposit. Nobody can see which note it made.
Free to shield, apart from the network fee
Cypher runs your sends and swaps through a shielded pool first. Your coins become one note among hundreds of thousands, and what comes out is proven with zero knowledge, not traced back.
Shielding 12.5 SOL adds a note to the pool that only your key can read. Anyone can see the deposit. Nobody can see which note it made.
Free to shield, apart from the network fee
Everyone's deposits land in the same pool. The more notes there are, the less any one payout gives away.
To spend, your browser proves that one of the unspent notes is yours, without saying which. It uses a key made from your wallet's signature, and that key never leaves the tab.
About 2 seconds to build the proof
A relayer submits the proof and the pool pays the recipient. Your wallet isn't in the transaction, and nothing in it leads back to your deposit.
0.35% + 0.006 SOL to leave the pool
Send it, or swap it on the way out. Either way the pool pays, someone else signs, and none of your wallets appear.
