Surveillance Is the Default
Public blockchains expose more than balances — they expose behavior.
89% of Ethereum wallets can be deanonymized through transaction graph analysis.
$1.1B in MEV extracted in 2024, directly from users and protocols.
42% of users re-identified via metadata, even without direct wallet links.
Up to 72% clustering accuracy using timing, gas, and interaction patterns.
Why Shade
Most privacy tools are optional layers placed on top of a public system. Shade is different. Privacy is enforced at the execution layer — not something users must remember to turn on.
With Shade, transactions are private by design, not by choice.
What Makes Shade Different
Encrypted execution, no public mempool, stealth addressing, MEV resistance, and auditable privacy in one stack.
Encrypted Mempool
Transactions are never exposed to public mempools. No frontrunning. No mempool sniffing.
Stealth Addresses
Each interaction uses unlinkable addresses, preventing wallet and identity clustering.
Private EVM Execution
Smart contracts execute in a private environment — calldata, state changes, and logic remain hidden.
ZK-Verified Settlement
Privacy without trust assumptions. Execution is verified on-chain using zero-knowledge proofs.
Why Mixers Are Not Enough
Mixer privacy breaks at the metadata layer.
Gas Timing
Nonce Increments
Calldata Shape
Recipient pattern
Mempool Sniffing
Use Cases
Private rails for every role: trade, build, deploy agents, and operate institutionally without leaks.
Traders
Execute without MEV extraction or strategy leakage.
Builders
Deploy applications without exposing users or logic.
AI Agents
Operate autonomously without revealing behavior or objectives.
Institutions
Transact privately while maintaining cryptographic auditability.
F.A.Q.
Quick answers on what Shade is, how private execution works, how it differs from mixers or coins, and what you need to join.
No. Shade is a private execution layer, not a transaction mixer. Privacy is enforced during execution, not after the fact.
