How it works

Public in. Private in between. Public out.

Lethe is a shielded pool for tokens on Elysium. Tokens go in publicly, move privately inside the pool, and come out publicly when you are done. That is the whole idea.

  1. 01

    Shield

    Public

    Deposit HYPE or a supported stablecoin from your wallet. Anyone can see the address, the token, the amount and the time.

  2. 02

    Send, request, organise

    Private

    Inside the pool your balance is a set of encrypted notes. Payments between Lethe accounts show no sender, recipient or amount on chain. Vault names stay on this device.

  3. 03

    Share

    Your choice

    Choose a single payment to share as a receipt. Everything you do not share stays where it is.

  4. 04

    Withdraw

    Public

    Send tokens to any address. The destination, the token, the amount and the time become public.

Five actions, each with a clear limit.

For every step: what it does, what others can see, and what stays hidden.

  1. 01

    Shield

    Public

    Deposit a supported token. Inside the pool it becomes encrypted notes that only your keys can read.

    Private

    Group shielded funds by purpose, such as trading or savings. Vault names stay on this device, not on the chain.

    Nothing, when you move a whole note. A pool transaction, when you split one.

    Vault names, balances and which vault holds what.
    Keep in mind
    Vaults keep you organised. They do not add privacy on their own.

    Send and request

    Private

    Pay another shielded account, or send a payment request link. A zero-knowledge proof shows the payment is valid without revealing who, or how much.

Swaps inside the pool and shared treasuries come in later phases. Each gets its own contracts and review before it goes live.

Private, not invisible.

Lethe hides what happens inside the pool. The edges, deposits and withdrawals, stay public. These choices can weaken your privacy:

Every detail in What stays private
  • Unusual, one-of-a-kind amounts
  • Withdrawing soon after depositing
  • Few people using the pool
  • A hacked device or a leaked key
