Privacy is not a featureyou bolt on. It is thefoundation you build from.
A portmanteau with a purpose.
Two ideas that rarely coexist in one network — a place your data is safe, and a network that connects to everything else. Sanect is built on the premise that you should not have to choose.
A safe haven for your transaction history, balances and counterparties. Cryptographic privacy guaranteed by mathematics you can audit, not by trust.
- Noir zk-SNARK shielded transfers
- Sender hidden on the shielded path
- No trusted-setup ceremony
- Poseidon-2 commitments · nullifier set
A privacy network that is isolated is a prison, not a sanctuary. Connect means the EVM, IBC-ready modules, and live bridges to global liquidity.
- Full EVM compatibility
- Cosmos SDK, IBC-ready
- Standard wallets — no new seed phrase
- Hyperlane bridge to Ethereum, 14 assets
Six things we won’t compromise on.
Privacy by design
Shielded transactions are a first-class primitive at the protocol layer, not an add-on. You choose transparency per transaction; the default is yours to set.
No trusted setup
Noir zk-SNARKs on Barretenberg’s universal SRS need no ceremony and no coordinator to trust. The maths is the guarantee, not our word.
EVM-native
Your Solidity, your Hardhat workflow, your MetaMask. Privacy should not require learning a new language or a new wallet.
Source-available
Every line is public and auditable on GitHub. No black boxes — security guarantees come from mathematics, not from trusting us.
Pseudonymous contributors
The people who built Sanect work the way Sanect works: identified by their commits. No founder cult, no LinkedIn pages.
Interoperable by default
Privacy in a silo is a prison. IBC-ready Cosmos SDK plus a live Hyperlane bridge connect Sanect to the ecosystem — not away from it.
One stack, two paths.
Every layer is public. The full architecture, with every cryptographic decision explained, is in the whitepaper →
No team page.
That is the point.
The people who built Sanect chose to work the way Sanect works — anonymously, verifiably, without asking you to trust a face. Every line of code is public. Every commit is signed. Judge the work, not the people behind it.
SANECT UK LIMITED is the legal entity behind the protocol. The protocol itself is permissionless and governed on chain by its community.
Six months, one chain.
Genesis commit to mainnet in two quarters, with every step verifiable in the repository. The roadmap → covers what comes next.
Genesis commit
CometBFT + Cosmos SDK + EVM architecture finalised. Validator design: 50 active, unlimited registrations.
Testnet launches
Chain 76287 live. Explorer, staking dApp, MetaMask connectivity and faucet.
Shielded pool verified
UltraHonk verifier and ShieldedPool v1.4 deployed; full shield → send → unshield round-trip verified on chain.
Mainnet genesis
Chain 7628 live. ShieldedPool, DEX, LP farm, .snct names and bridge deployed. 1B SNCT across a 10-bucket allocation.
Ethereum bridge live
Hyperlane bridge with 14 bridged ERC-20s, end-to-end round-trip verified.
Multi-chain expansion
Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, BSC, Polygon bridges. Multi-validator ISM. Airdrop Phase 1 preparation.
The problem with public by default.
Every chain is a glass house.
Every transaction — amounts, counterparties, contract interactions — is permanently public, indexed and queryable by anyone. Competitors track treasuries. Wallets get profiled. Patterns get monetised.
- Your salary visible on chain
- DeFi positions front-run
- Business payments exposed
- Personal spending profiled
Opt-in transparency, not opt-in privacy.
Normal activity should be private by default — the way cash works, the way banking works. You choose what to make public, not what to hide.
- Sender shielded on the private path
- Your own full audit trail stays available to you
- Selective disclosure, per transaction
- Same EVM wallets and tooling
Verify it yourself.
The mainnet is live. The code is public. The whitepaper explains every cryptographic decision. Trust the maths.
