Technical Documentation

The Privacy Layer of Solana • Version 1.0.0

Moonware OS introduces native privacy to the Solana ecosystem through scalable, efficient, and secure cryptographic design. It empowers users with financial privacy while remaining transparent, auditable, and non-custodial.

Complete technical specification covering architecture, cryptographic primitives, privacy guarantees, and implementation details.

01. Overview

Moonware OS is the privacy layer of Solana. It is a modular system that makes privacy a native feature of the blockchain—from stealth transactions to encrypted communication, enabling users to stay invisible while staying connected.

"Privacy is not about hiding. It is about protecting what matters."

02. Mission & Vision

Our Mission

We believe privacy is not a privilege but a right. Moonware OS exists to restore digital freedom by building privacy, anonymity, and control into Solana. Our tools let you transact, communicate, and build without exposure or surveillance.

Privacy by default, transparency by choice.

Cryptography replaces trust.

Decentralization is defense.

The Vision

Moonware OS was created to make privacy simple, accessible, and built into the core of blockchain. Our vision is a world where every digital interaction can be private by default—as natural as sending a message or making a payment.

03. Architecture

Moonware OS is built as a set of independent yet connected modules. Each brings a layer of privacy to the Solana ecosystem. Use them individually or as one integrated privacy layer.

Module 1

MoonOS

Ephemeral Privacy Runtime

Disposable session manager that isolates device fingerprints, IP addresses, and wallet keys within temporary execution contexts. Each session self-destructs on completion, leaving zero persistent state.

Module 2

Tx ShadowNet

Multi-Hop Relay Mesh

Distributed relay network fragmenting transaction paths across independent nodes. Path selection algorithms optimize for unlinkability while maintaining sub-second finality.

Module 3

ID Obfuscation

One-Time Identity Layer

Generates ephemeral Moon IDs and stealth addresses for every interaction. Past activity remains cryptographically unlinkable from future operations through rotating key material.

Module 4

DarkRelay Messaging

Encrypted Communication Channel

Hybrid messaging architecture storing encrypted payloads off-chain while anchoring commitments on-chain. Enables selective disclosure without exposing message content.

Module 5

MoonPay

Private Payment Pipeline

One-time payment link generator creating unique settlement paths. Automatically sweeps funds through stealth addresses with ShadowNet routing.

Module 6

MoonRoute

Stealth Swap Engine

Private DeFi execution layer pairing stealth addresses with hidden liquidity routing. Settlement occurs through unlinkable transaction pathways.

Module 7

MoonMask

Identity Shield

Persona management layer decoupling on-chain activity from real-world identity. Rotates behavioral signatures to prevent profiling and correlation.

04. Privacy-First Operating Flow

Every user action passes through five cryptographic stages. Each stage adds a layer of anonymity, culminating in zero-metadata output.

05. Anatomy of the Void

Deep dive into the technical implementation: smart contracts, zero-knowledge circuits, backend infrastructure, and transaction lifecycle.

Smart Contracts

Rust • Solana BPF
  • Accept deposit commitments and manage Merkle tree of valid notes
  • Validate zero-knowledge proofs during withdrawal operations
  • Prevent double-spending via nullifier tracking and verification
  • Token support: SOL native with SPL token expansion planned

Zero-Knowledge Proof System

zk-SNARKs

Uses zk-SNARKs to prove deposit ownership without revealing which specific deposit. Compatible with Groth16, PLONK, and Halo2 proof systems.

Proof Generation

Handled off-chain in client browser. User computes witness and generates proof locally. No server-side key material.

On-Chain Verifier

Smart contract verifies proof validity in < 10ms. Accepts proof to approve withdrawal without revealing deposit linkage.

Backend Indexer

Node.js • GraphQL
  • Ingests on-chain data: deposits, nullifiers, withdrawal events
  • Stores indexed data in PostgreSQL for fast queries
  • Powers analytics dashboards and transaction tracking
  • GraphQL API for real-time privacy metrics and relay status

Frontend Interface

React • Web3.js
  • Built with React and @solana/web3.js for seamless wallet integration
  • Intuitive UI for depositing, withdrawing, and generating zk-proofs
  • Connects to Solana wallets: Phantom, Solflare, Backpack
  • Fully responsive: optimized for mobile and desktop experiences

From Commit to Silence: Transaction Lifecycle

01

Deposit Phase

User generates secret pair: (nullifier, secret)

Computes commitment: C = H(nullifier, secret)

Sends commitment C to Moonware smart contract

Contract inserts C into Merkle tree of valid notes

02

Withdrawal Phase

User generates zk-proof demonstrating:

  • • Knowledge of (nullifier, secret) linked to Merkle root
  • • That the nullifier has not been previously used
  • • Membership in the valid commitment set

Sends to contract:

  • → zk-proof (PLONK/Groth16)
  • → recipient address (can be new stealth address)
  • → nullifier (marks note as spent)

Contract verifies proof and nullifier, then transfers funds to recipient

06. Cryptography

Moonware OS is powered by modern cryptographic primitives. Privacy is the default setting. Transparency is a choice.

Stealth Addresses

ECDH Key Exchange

CurveHashUnlinkabilityCompatibility

One-time payment addresses computed via elliptic-curve Diffie-Hellman

HPKE Encryption

RFC 9180

KEMKDFAEADSecurity

Hybrid public-key encryption for non-interactive message sealing

PLONK ZK Proofs

Universal SNARKs

SetupProof SizeVerificationCircuit

ThresholdSharingRotationSecurity

Distributed secret management via Shamir secret sharing

07. Privacy by Design

Guiding principles that shape Moonware's architecture, user experience, and cryptographic guarantees.

Privacy by Default

Zero configuration required

Every transaction, message, and interaction defaults to maximum anonymity. Users never toggle privacy settings—protection is automatic and omnipresent.

Transparency by Choice

Selective disclosure mechanisms

Users control what they reveal through zero-knowledge proofs. Can prove compliance, fund origin, or identity without exposing full transaction history.

Technology over Trust

Cryptographic guarantees

Privacy depends on mathematics, not institutional promises. ECDH, HPKE, PLONK, and MPC provide verifiable security properties.

Decentralization as Defense

No single point of failure

ShadowNet relays and MPC nodes distribute trust across global mesh. Compromise of individual components does not breach system-wide privacy.

Simple and Usable

Performance matches Solana speed

Sub-second finality with 65,000 TPS throughput. Privacy layer adds &lt; 400ms latency. User experience indistinguishable from standard Solana interactions.

Open and Verifiable

Auditable implementation

Critical components open-sourced for community review. Cryptographic proofs are publicly verifiable. No backdoors, no hidden telemetry.

Freedom for Everyone

Individual sovereignty

Built for journalists, whistleblowers, activists, and everyday users. Privacy is a right, not a privilege reserved for institutions.

08. Getting Started

For Users

Quick Start Guide

01.

Connect Solana Wallet

Use Phantom, Solflare, or any Solana-compatible wallet. Moonware detects your wallet and initializes privacy layer automatically.

02.

Enable MoonOS Sessions

Activate ephemeral runtime that masks device fingerprints and wallet metadata. Each session auto-destructs after use.

03.

Create Private Payment Links

Generate MoonPay links with one-time stealth addresses. Recipients receive funds anonymously with automatic sweep.

04.

Route via ShadowNet

All transactions fragment across 3-7 relay hops. Origin and destination remain hidden from network observers.

05.

Encrypted Messaging

Send HPKE-encrypted messages through DarkRelay. Only intended recipients can decrypt. Forward secrecy guaranteed.

06.

Verify Privacy Status

Dashboard shows real-time anonymity metrics: relay count, metadata status, and unlinkability score.
