How Privacy Works
Oyrade uses proven cryptographic techniques to shield your predictions.
Technology Stack
| Layer | Technology | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Mixing | Solnado-based pools | Break wallet linkage |
| Tokens | SPL Token-2022 | Confidential transfers |
| MEV | Jito bundles | Prevent front-running |
| Settlement | Ephemeral wallets | Anonymous payouts |
The Privacy Flow
1. Deposit to Shield Pool
When you enable shielding:
Your Wallet → Shield Pool → Ephemeral Wallet
Your funds pass through a shared pool, breaking the on-chain link.
2. Prediction Placement
The ephemeral wallet places your prediction:
- No connection to your main wallet
- Position stored in encrypted state
- Only you have the decryption key
3. Settlement
When you win:
Market Payout → Shield Pool → Your Wallet
Winnings are mixed again before reaching you.
Privacy Guarantees
| What's Hidden | What's Public |
|---|---|
| Bet Amount | Market Existence |
| Entry Price | Total Volume |
| Win/Loss Outcome | Global Settlement State |
| Wallet Identity |
Security Assumptions
Oyrade's privacy relies on:
- Privacy set size - More shielded users = better privacy
- Mixing pool depth - Larger pools = harder to trace
- Time delays - Randomized withdrawal timing
Early Stage
Privacy improves with adoption. Early users have smaller privacy sets.
Comparison to Other Systems
| System | Privacy Level | Speed | Chain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oyrade | High | Fast | Solana |
| Tornado Cash | Very High | Slow | Ethereum |
| Polymarket | None | Fast | Polygon |
| Aztec | Very High | Slow | Ethereum L2 |
Oyrade balances privacy with Solana's speed.
Future: ZK Integration
Our roadmap includes:
- zk-SNARKs for position proofs
- FHE (Fully Homomorphic Encryption) for computation on encrypted data
- Cross-chain privacy via Wormhole
