Dark Protocol 101 — The Beginner’s Guide to Solana Privacy 🌑
Welcome to the shadows.
Dark Protocol is the first privacy layer on Solana that lets you deposit, trade, and withdraw without exposing your wallet or transaction history. This guide breaks down everything in simple terms so even someone new to privacy tech can understand how it works.
🥷What Problem Does Dark Protocol Solve?
On blockchain, every transaction is public:
1-Every swap
2-Every wallet-to-wallet transfer
3-Every trade you make
4-Every token you receive
Anyone can track it. Dark Protocol is the first system on @solana designed to break that link.

🔒 The Core Idea: Shielded Balances
When you deposit an asset into Dark Protocol, it goes into a shielded balance, which:
1-Hides your wallet identity
2-Removes your transaction trail
3-Lets you move funds internally without exposure
It’s like stepping behind a curtain. Once you’re shielded, no one knows which wallet is doing what.
🔁 Private Swaps
Inside the shielded pool, you can swap tokens privately:
1-None sees the pair you're trading
2-None sees the size of the trade
3-No link between your old wallet and your new one
This is not a mixer. This is a private trading environment built directly on Solana.

↩️ Private Withdrawals
When you’re ready, you withdraw from the shielded pool to any wallet you choose, and:
1-The withdrawal is private
2-The source wallet is untraceable
3-Your new wallet becomes your “new” wallet
Perfect for people who want privacy, OPSEC, or simply don’t want competitors tracking them.
👨💼How Does It Work (In Simple Terms)
1-You deposit → Dark Protocol creates a private note
2-You trade → Your operations happen within the shielded pool
3-You withdraw → Zero-knowledge logic verifies your balance without exposing your identity
Solana executes the transactions. We protect who’s behind them.
