A transfer touches eight accounts at once. One pays, one is paid, six are untouched — and nothing on the chain says which is which.

How it works

1  Put something in

Send USDG or a tokenized share to the pool. This part is public, the way any deposit is. It is the last thing about it that will be.

2  It becomes a locked number

The chain still adds to it and subtracts from it — it just never unlocks it. Only the key your wallet signs for turns it back into an amount.

3  Move it, or take it out

A transfer touches eight accounts at once, so nobody can say which two moved. Taking tokens out is public again, to any address you like.

The number at the top

It is how loud the chain still is about what is in here, measured the way a room is measured. A fully public chain is the reference: 94 dB.

You hide among the accounts holding a balance, and a transfer hides among the eight it was sent with. The more of both, the lower the reading.

Both of those are public counters. The amounts, which nobody can see, are not part of the sum — which is the only reason the figure can be honest.

The target means hiding among about half a million. It is a number that comes down as people use it, not a promise.
