How to Use Encifher to Trade Privately Over Jupiter
Encifher adds a privacy layer on top of Jupiter, Solana’s leading liquidity aggregator, allowing you to trade without exposing sensitive transaction details like strategy or size.
Here’s how to get started:
Step 1: Deposit Funds into Encifher
After connecting your wallet, navigate to the Deposit section and make your first deposit.
IMPORTANT: Always deposit an amount larger than the individual swaps you plan to make. This improves privacy guarantees by preventing direct linkability between deposits and swaps.

Step 2: Swap Privately Using Encifher + Jupiter
Go to the Swap section and select the asset pair you want to trade.
Under the hood, Encifher encrypts your swap orders and routes them through Jupiter — so while liquidity is sourced from Solana’s public DEXes, your trade amounts and strategies stay private.

Step 3: Withdraw Assets
When you’re ready to withdraw, you can move your assets to any wallet address of your choice.
IMPORTANT: For better privacy, do not withdraw all assets at once. Instead, withdraw in parts to further obfuscate the link between your trading activity and your withdrawal.

Best Practices for Maximizing Privacy
To get the most out of Encifher’s privacy layer, follow these recommended practices:
1. Over-deposit relative to swap size
Always deposit an amount larger than the swaps you intend to perform. This prevents one-to-one matching between your deposit, swap, and withdrawal, improving privacy.
2. Stagger withdrawals
Avoid withdrawing your full balance in a single transaction. Instead, withdraw in smaller amounts over time. Using different wallet addresses for withdrawals can further reduce traceability.
3. Vary swap patterns
Avoid predictable patterns in your swaps. Vary both the timing and the size of your trades to make transaction graph analysis more difficult.
4. Use fresh withdrawal addresses
Where possible, withdraw assets to new wallet addresses. This adds an extra layer of unlinkability between your private trading activity and public wallet history.
5. Maintain a buffer balance
Keep a portion of your assets in your Encifher balance even after completing your trades. This avoids signaling clear start and end points to your activity.
By applying these practices, you can maximize the privacy of your on-chain trading activity when using Encifher.
