Best practices for doing private swaps using Encifher

Step 1: Enter Access Code

Connect your wallet and input your private beta access code when prompted.

This unlocks the private swap interface.

Step 2: Deposit Your Assets

Head to the Deposit section and fund your private vault.

Tip: Always deposit more than what you intend to trade — this improves your privacy set

Step 3: Swap Privately

Navigate to the Swap tab:

  • Select the asset you want to swap.
  • Choose the receiver address.
  • Click Swap — the process takes ~20–30 seconds (we're actively optimising speed 😄).

Step 4: Check Your Assets

Go to the Assets page of the receiver address inside the Encifher app.

Your swapped tokens will be visible within the app, not on public explorers.

Important:

Assets won’t appear on chain until you withdraw them.

This is expected — it’s how privacy is maintained.

Step 5: Trade Again or Withdraw

  • You can place another trade from the new private address.
  • Or withdraw to any external wallet when you’re ready.

Best Practices for max privacy guarantees

❌ Don’t: Treat it like a simple “deposit → swap → withdraw” flow

This makes your transaction linkable and exposes your identity on-chain.

Example:

Suppose you deposit exactly $4,061.84 from wallet A1, swap it for 5 SOL, and immediately withdraw to wallet A2.

Now, anyone analyzing on-chain data can correlate:

  • Same amount
  • Same timestamp window
  • Your original wallet → your new wallet

You’ve just left a trace.

✅ Do: Treat it like a trading venue, not a bank transfer

  • Always deposit more than what you plan to trade.
  • Mix trades of different sizes over time.
  • Use it like an exchange — not like a one-off send-receive wallet.

🕒 Wait before withdrawing

  • Allow time for more users and more trades to interact with the system.
  • The more activity, the better your anonymity set.
  • Delayed withdrawals help you blend in with others.

🧠 Bonus Tips:

  • Withdraw to new, fresh wallets if privacy is critical.
  • If you're a KOL or large trader, split withdrawals in chunks.
