SIP Protocol
Privacy by Default. Freedom by Design.
One toggle to shield sender, amount, and recipient across any chain. We don't ask permission to be private.

One toggle to shield sender, amount, and recipient
Blockchain Transparency is a Bug, Not a Feature
Full Transparency
Every transaction is publicly visible. Wallet balances, trading patterns, and financial relationships are exposed to anyone.
No Privacy Standard
Unlike HTTPS for web, there's no unified privacy layer for blockchain. Each chain has fragmented, incompatible solutions.
Single-Chain Only
Existing privacy solutions (Aztec, Railgun, Penumbra) work on one chain. Cross-chain privacy doesn't exist.
This Isn't Theoretical
How SIP Breaks The Link
๐The Linkability Problem
Privacy Broken
Same address appears 3 times. Anyone watching can link deposit โ withdraw โ refund. This is how ZachXBT traces funds.
๐Stealth Address Solution
Privacy Preserved
Each stealth address is unique and unlinkable. No on-chain connection between deposit and outputs.
๐ฌSee For Yourself
Generate new stealth addresses to prove they're always unique
Each address is cryptographically unique. Only Alice (with her viewing key) can prove ownership.

The Cypherpunk Vision
โPrivacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age.โ
Privacy is a Right
Not a privilege granted by corporations or governments. Privacy is fundamental to human dignity and freedom.
Code is Speech
We write code because software cannot be uninvented. Mathematics and cryptography are our tools of liberation.
Privacy by Default
We don't ask permission to be private. Privacy should be the default, not an opt-in afterthought.
# Standing on the shoulders of giants
SIP continues the cypherpunk mission:
Permissionless privacy for everyone.
// We don't ask permission to be private.
Permissionless Privacy for Everyone
Stealth Addresses
One-time recipient addresses prevent transaction linkability. Based on EIP-5564 standard.
Pedersen Commitments
Cryptographically hide transaction amounts while maintaining verifiability. Homomorphic properties enable proofs.
Viewing Keys
You control who sees what. Share access on your terms, revoke it when you choose.

Built on Zcash
Bringing Zcash privacy to every chain
Why Zcash for Cross-Chain Privacy?
Battle-Tested
8+ years of production privacy. The most audited, scrutinized privacy protocol in crypto.
Research Pioneer
Invented zk-SNARKs for blockchain. Halo2 eliminated trusted setup. Continuous innovation.
Compliance Ready
Viewing key architecture enables selective disclosure. Privacy with accountability.
Cross-Chain Ready
SIP extends Zcash privacy beyond ZEC to any chain, any token, any protocol.
Zcash Innovations We Build On
Zcash Launch
First cryptocurrency with zk-SNARKs. Introduced shielded transactions and z-addresses.
Sapling Upgrade
10x faster shielded transactions. Introduced viewing keys for selective disclosure.
Noir/Barretenberg Proving
No trusted setup required. Efficient recursive proofs. Foundation for modern ZK.
NU5 & Orchard
Unified addresses. Battle-tested cryptography. Strongest privacy guarantees.
SIP Protocol
Extends Zcash privacy to cross-chain. Any token, any chain, same guarantees.
Our Zcash Integration
Zcash RPC Client
ImplementedFull integration with zcashd. z_sendmany, z_getbalance, shielded pool operations. Direct access to Zcash's privacy infrastructure.
Viewing Key Architecture
ImplementedSIP's viewing keys mirror Zcash's IVK/OVK design. Same compliance-ready selective disclosure, extended cross-chain.
z-Address Validation
ImplementedNative support for Zcash shielded addresses as swap destinations. Full address format validation.
Future: Proof Composition
PlannedResearch phase: Compose proofs from multiple systems including Zcash's Halo2 and Noir circuits.
Complementing, Not Competing
SIP doesn't replace Zcash โ we extend it. Zcash provides the strongest privacy guarantees for ZEC transactions. SIP brings those same principles to every other chain.

The SIP Moat
Chain Agnostic
Works with ETH, SOL, NEAR, and any future chain. Others are locked to one ecosystem.
Compliance Ready
Viewing keys enable auditor access without compromising user privacy. Enterprise-ready.
Settlement Abstraction
Pluggable backend means no vendor lock-in. Adapt to best settlement option.
โFinally, privacy that works across chains.โ
The future of privacy is chain-agnostic

The Founder
RECTOR
@rz1989s
Solo Founder, SIP Protocol โข ๐ฎ๐ฉ Indonesia
๐ก About
Indonesian developer building the privacy standard for Web3. Blockchain architect with $10,800+ in hackathon wins (2024-2025) including MonkeDAO, Zypherpunk, and Superteam Indonesia. 5,600+ contributions across 170 repos. Focused on cryptographic privacy, cross-chain infrastructure, and high-performance systems. Privacy is a right, not a feature.
๐ Why Privacy?
Remember when HTTP was the norm? We now consider sites without HTTPS dangerous. Web3 is in its HTTP era โ transparency is the default, but crime follows money. As Web3 matures, privacy becomes essential defense. SIP doesn't ignore blockchain fundamentals โ it makes them better. Privacy isn't hiding, it's protection.
โก Why Solo?
Many doubt solo founders. I think differently. After building with teams, I learned that wrong teams are more dangerous than external threats โ they're internal ones. Good projects with good teams still die from lack of synchronization. Solo means pure execution.
