Privacy

What Gater protects today, and what it does not.

STANDARD ON-CHAIN

ACTIVE

Public BNB Smart Chain transaction. Your address, the assets, amounts and timing are publicly visible on-chain. Gater is non-custodial: you sign in your own wallet.

Private · RAILGUN

ACTIVE

Trades run inside the RAILGUN shielded pool and are submitted by a broadcaster, so your public address is not linked to the trade. Shielding into and unshielding out of the pool remain visible on-chain.

Still publicly visible on-chain

  • Standard mode: your address, the token, amounts, time and resulting balances
  • Private mode: your shield deposits and unshield withdrawals (address, token, amount)
  • Private mode: that RAILGUN RelayAdapt swapped token A for B on PancakeSwap (amounts and time), but not which private wallet

Never requested or held by Gater

  • Seed phrases, private keys or passwords
  • Custody of your assets
  • Account sign-up or KYC data (Gater has no accounts)

Private wallet (RAILGUN)

Broadcasters: Disconnected

Private trading is new. Keep amounts small for now.

Connect your wallet. Your private wallet is derived from a signature; you never handle a seed phrase.

Architecture

All execution flows through a PrivacyProvider interface. PublicExecutionProvider is active. RailgunPrivateExecutionProvider implements preparePrivateExecution, generateProof and submitPrivateExecution using the RAILGUN shielded pool on BNB Smart Chain: zero-knowledge proofs are generated in your browser, and the trade is executed by RAILGUN's RelayAdapt contract and submitted by a broadcaster. It is enabled only when the operator configures it. Gater does not describe standard transactions as anonymous, hidden or untraceable.
