Everything you need to know about Hide Protocol

What is Hide Protocol?

Hide Protocol is a privacy-first trading layer built on Solana. It allows users to swap tokens and withdraw funds anonymously through aggregated liquidity vaults and private balance channels.

How does Hide ensure privacy?

Every user interacts through a unique private deposit address. Funds are merged into a shared liquidity vault, making it impossible to trace who traded or withdrew. On-chain activity reveals only the vault — never the user.

Is Hide Protocol custodial?

Hide operates as a hybrid system — custody is managed through secure, multi-sig vaults while user balances are tracked off-chain for instant execution. Withdrawals remain 100% under user control.

What are the trading fees?

Swaps: 0.01% • Withdrawals: 0.5% • $HIDE holders: Pay 0% fees on all actions within the protocol.

What is the $HIDE token used for?

$HIDE is the governance and utility token of Hide Protocol. Holders enjoy zero trading fees, priority access to vaults, governance rights, and a share of protocol-level incentives.

Can anyone trace my transactions on Solana Explorer?

No — external observers only see aggregated vault interactions. The routing, timing, and user-level flow are hidden by design. On-chain, all swaps appear as movements between protocol-controlled addresses.

Is Hide safe to use?

Yes. The protocol employs multi-sig vaults, audited smart contracts, and risk monitoring systems to secure user assets. Transparency reports and audits will be publicly available at launch.

How fast are swaps and withdrawals?

Hide leverages Solana's high throughput — swaps execute instantly, and withdrawals settle in seconds. For stealth mode withdrawals, optional delay routing can be enabled for extra privacy.

What makes Hide different from normal DEXs?

DEXs reveal every transaction publicly. Hide focuses on execution without exposure — keeping trades private while maintaining liquidity and speed. Think of it as a CEX experience, but fully decentralized and invisible.

How can I get started?

Visit hide.trade, deposit your wallet, and your private vault balance updates instantly — from there, you can swap, withdraw, and trade in complete privacy.
