To start trading, select the token you wish to trade in shielded mode. Vanish supports SOL and all token standards. After choosing the token and amount, click the Shield button to proceed. Your connected wallet will prompt you to review and approve the transaction. Every swap requires your authorization, and Vanish never holds user private key custody. Shielding is subject to approval by Vanish’s Integrity Framework (VIF), which screens for sanctions, fraud, and bad actors.
Once shielding is active, your trades are routed privately through Vanish’s execution layer. On-chain observers can confirm that a shielded transaction occurred, but they cannot trace the size, direction, or details of your trades, keeping your strategies and alpha protected.
