A quiet but important upgrade just shipped in the privacy space, and I think it deserves more attention than it’s getting.

For the last couple of years, anyone who wanted real on chain privacy for BTC, ETH or SOL basically had three options:

- Swap into a privacy coin (tax event + liquidity risk)
- Use a custodial mixer or CEX “privacy service” (counterparty risk)
- Wrap into a shielded token that can never become native again (locked in forever)

So @ConfidentialLyr just made a fourth option real: a fully non custodial bridge that moves native assets into a zk shielded environment and lets you bring them back out exactly as they were.

Your funds stay entirely under your control, free from intermediaries, approvals, or outside decision makers.

How it works :

You send BTC / ETH / SOL (or any EVM version) to their bridge contract

The asset vanishes from public view and re-appears inside Confidential’s shielded pool - still as native BTC, ETH or SOL

Inside the pool you can hold, send privately to other shielded addresses, or later prove ownership and withdraw to any clean address

The entire thing is backed by threshold encryption + zk proofs.

No one (not even the protocol) can see balances or transaction graphs

I moved some ETH through it yesterday to test it .

The flow is clean: connect wallet → choose asset → send → done. Withdrawal was equally straightforward. On chain it looks like two ordinary deposits to a contract. Nothing else.

They also just launched a Cookie campaign :

- 7.5 M $CLONE tokens (0.75 % of total supply)
Distributed over 2 months
- Rewards proportional to (a) bridging volume and (b) educational content you create around the project

If you decide to bridge and want to use a referral (helps both sides), mine is: MeshClans

I’m sharing this because tools like this only get better the earlier real assets start flowing through them.

The deeper the shielded liquidity, the more useful the entire privacy ecosystem becomes for everyone.
