Privacy model & limits

Being honest about the threat model matters more than marketing it. Here's exactly what Nyxora hides and what it doesn't.

Hidden

• Balances — encrypted on-chain, readable only by you.
• Transfer amounts — every confidential transfer is a ciphertext.
• Swap sizes, bid sizes, vote weights — sealed by the same primitive.
• Recipient — with stealth addresses, there's no on-chain link to who received funds.

Still public

• That a transaction happened, and that it's well-formed.
• Who submitted it (the sender), gas, and timing.

The honest limit

Confidentiality hides amounts and balances — and, with stealth addresses, who receives. It is not a mixer, and it does not break the sender ↔ transaction link for transparent value.

If your goal is unlinkable, no-trace movement of transparent ETH, confidentiality alone won't do it — that fundamentally requires an anonymity set (a crowd) or a privacy coin. Nyxora hides how much and who receives, not the existence of the transaction itself.

Treat Nyxora as a confidentiality layer, not an anonymity system. Used well — confidential amounts plus stealth receipts plus sensible operational security — it removes the amount and recipient leakage that de-anonymizes most on-chain activity.
