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

The Problem

Blockchain Transparency is a Bug, Not a Feature

๐Ÿ‘๏ธ

Full Transparency

Every transaction is publicly visible. Wallet balances, trading patterns, and financial relationships are exposed to anyone.

๐Ÿ”—

No Privacy Standard

Unlike HTTPS for web, there's no unified privacy layer for blockchain. Each chain has fragmented, incompatible solutions.

โ›“๏ธ

Single-Chain Only

Existing privacy solutions (Aztec, Railgun, Penumbra) work on one chain. Cross-chain privacy doesn't exist.

The Solution

How SIP Breaks The Link

WITHOUT SIP

๐Ÿ”“The Linkability Problem

โ†’Alice deposits to pool
0xd704...f4b0
โ†Alice withdraws
0xd704...f4b0
โ†ฉRefund goes to
0xd704...f4b0
โš ๏ธ

Privacy Broken

Same address appears 3 times. Anyone watching can link deposit โ†’ withdraw โ†’ refund. This is how ZachXBT traces funds.

WITH SIP

๐Ÿ”Stealth Address Solution

โ†’Alice deposits to pool
0xd704...f4b0
โ†Alice receives via stealth
0x8a2f...7f8a(unique!)
โ†ฉRefund goes to stealth
0x1b2c...9b0c(unique!)
โœ…

Privacy Preserved

Each stealth address is unique and unlinkable. No on-chain connection between deposit and outputs.

๐Ÿ”ฌSee For Yourself

Generate new stealth addresses to prove they're always unique

Stealth #1
0x8a2f...7f8a
0x8a2f3b1c9d4e5f6a7b8c9d0e1f2a3b4c5d6e7f8a
Stealth #2
0x1b2c...9b0c
0x1b2c3d4e5f6a7b8c9d0e1f2a3b4c5d6e7f8a9b0c
Stealth #3
0x9c8d...1c0d
0x9c8d7e6f5a4b3c2d1e0f9a8b7c6d5e4f3a2b1c0d

Each address is cryptographically unique. Only Alice (with her viewing key) can prove ownership.

Why We Build

The Cypherpunk Vision

$ cat manifesto.txt

โ€œPrivacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age.โ€

โ€” Eric Hughes, A Cypherpunk's Manifesto, 1993
๐Ÿ”[ ENCRYPT ]

Privacy is a Right

Not a privilege granted by corporations or governments. Privacy is fundamental to human dignity and freedom.

โšก[ DEPLOY ]

Code is Speech

We write code because software cannot be uninvented. Mathematics and cryptography are our tools of liberation.

๐ŸŒ[ SHIELD ]

Privacy by Default

We don't ask permission to be private. Privacy should be the default, not an opt-in afterthought.

SIP continues the cypherpunk mission:

Permissionless privacy for everyone.

// We don't ask permission to be private.

The Solution

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.

๐Ÿ”ฌTechnical Deep-Dive(click to expand)

Chain-agnostic โ€ข Works with any blockchain

Settlement-agnostic โ€ข Pluggable backend (NEAR Intents, Mina, direct)

How It Works

Four Steps to Privacy

1

Create Intent

Define your swap parameters

2

Get Quote

Generate shielded quote

3

Execute Private

Hidden sender, amount, recipient

4

Settle Anywhere

NEAR Intents handles the rest

Why Zcash for Cross-Chain Privacy?

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Battle-Tested

8+ years of production privacy. The most audited, scrutinized privacy protocol in crypto.

๐Ÿ”ฌ

Research Pioneer

Invented zk-SNARKs for blockchain. Halo2 eliminated trusted setup. Continuous innovation.

โš–๏ธ

Compliance Ready

Viewing key architecture enables selective disclosure. Privacy with accountability.

๐ŸŒ

Cross-Chain Ready

SIP extends Zcash privacy beyond ZEC to any chain, any token, any protocol.

Zcash Innovations We Build On

2016

Zcash Launch

First cryptocurrency with zk-SNARKs. Introduced shielded transactions and z-addresses.

2018

Sapling Upgrade

10x faster shielded transactions. Introduced viewing keys for selective disclosure.

2020

Noir/Barretenberg Proving

No trusted setup required. Efficient recursive proofs. Foundation for modern ZK.

2022

NU5 & Orchard

Unified addresses. Battle-tested cryptography. Strongest privacy guarantees.

2024

SIP Protocol

Extends Zcash privacy to cross-chain. Any token, any chain, same guarantees.

Our Zcash Integration

Zcash RPC Client

Implemented

Full integration with zcashd. z_sendmany, z_getbalance, shielded pool operations. Direct access to Zcash's privacy infrastructure.

Viewing Key Architecture

Implemented

SIP's viewing keys mirror Zcash's IVK/OVK design. Same compliance-ready selective disclosure, extended cross-chain.

z-Address Validation

Implemented

Native support for Zcash shielded addresses as swap destinations. Full address format validation.

Future: Proof Composition

Planned

Research 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 Founder

RECTOR

@rz1989s

Solo Founder, SIP Protocol โ€ข ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ Indonesia

๐Ÿ’ก 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.

๐Ÿ” 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.

โšก 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.

No committee decisionsNo synchronization overheadShip fast, iterate faster
