Privacy Standard for Web3

SIP Protocol

The Privacy Standard for Solana Ecosystem

Privacy middleware for Web3 — like HTTPS for the internet. One toggle to shield any transaction. Chain-agnostic. Settlement-agnostic. Starting with Solana.

The Vision

Privacy Standard for Web3

SIP is to privacy what HTTPS is to the web. One toggle to shield any transaction.

APPLICATIONS
Wallets • DEXs • DAOs • Payments • Enterprise
SIP PROTOCOL — THE PRIVACY STANDARD
PRIVACY LAYER (Core)
Stealth Addresses • Commitments • Viewing Keys
PROOF COMPOSITION (Moat)
Zcash • Mina • Noir
SETTLEMENT (Pluggable)
NEAR Intents • Mina • Direct Chain
BLOCKCHAINS
Solana • Ethereum • NEAR • Bitcoin • More

Chain-Agnostic

Enhance every chain, compete with none

Settlement-Agnostic

One API, multiple backends

Compliance-Ready

Viewing keys for institutions

The Problem

Privacy on Solana Has No Standard

Privacy Projects Failed

  • Elusiv sunset Feb 2024
  • Light Protocol pivoted to ZK Compression
  • Otter Cash never launched

No Privacy Standard

  • No EIP-5564 for Solana
  • Developers have no tools
  • Each project builds from scratch

Cross-Chain Privacy Gap

  • Wormhole: transparent
  • deBridge: transparent
  • All bridges leak data

Institutional Blockers

  • No compliance features
  • All-or-nothing privacy
  • Regulatory uncertainty
The Solution

SIP Protocol: Privacy That Ships

Privacy middleware for Solana and beyond. Plug in our SDK, enable the toggle, done.

Stealth Addresses

EIP-5564 adapted for multi-curve (secp256k1 + ed25519). Native Solana support.

Pedersen Commitments

Homomorphic commitments hide amounts while enabling mathematical verification.

Viewing Keys

Selective disclosure for compliance. Auditors can verify without exposing user data.

Privacy Levels

Transparent, Shielded, or Compliant. Users and apps choose their level.

Why Solana First?

Perfect Fit for Privacy Standard

High Throughput

Privacy operations require compute. Solana handles it at scale.

Growing DeFi

Jupiter, Raydium, Meteora. Privacy unlocks institutional capital.

Wallet Ecosystem

Phantom, Solflare, Backpack. Native integration opportunities.

Cross-Chain Hub

Wormhole, NEAR bridge. Privacy makes Solana the private gateway.

Traction

Production-Ready, Not Vaporware

Competitive Landscape

SIP vs Arcium: Different Layers

Arcium is confidential compute infrastructure. SIP is privacy middleware. We complement, not compete.

Arcium

Confidential Compute
  • MPC network for confidential computation
  • Solana-native infrastructure layer
  • Focuses on compute privacy (processing)
  • Requires apps to integrate MPC
  • Testnet only (mainnet TBD)

SIP Protocol

Privacy Middleware
  • Transaction privacy (stealth addresses, commitments)
  • Chain-agnostic middleware layer
  • Focuses on transfer privacy (sending/receiving)
  • Simple SDK integration (“one toggle”)
  • Live SDK, 2,757+ tests, npm published

They can work together: Arcium for confidential compute, SIP for transaction privacy.
Future integration possible: Use Arcium MPC for SIP's proof generation.

Other Privacy Solutions

ProjectStatusSIP Advantage
ElusivSunsetWe're shipping
Light ProtocolPivotedWe're privacy-focused
WormholeNo privacyWe add privacy layer
AztecETH onlyWe're multi-chain

Key Differentiator: SIP is the ONLY cross-chain privacy middleware with compliance features (viewing keys).

Arcium = Infrastructure | SIP = Application Layer | We complement the ecosystem.

Hybrid Architecture

Technical Architecture

SIP combines settlement flexibility with proof composition for a unique privacy standard.

Settlement Aggregator

One privacy layer, settle anywhere

  • Unified API regardless of backend
  • NEAR Intents → Mina → Direct Chain
  • Creates standardization & switching costs
Core Value
Proof Aggregator

Compose proofs for unique capabilities

  • Zcash privacy + Mina verification
  • Noir validity proofs
  • Technical moat, hard to replicate
