it's a new week, let's win like no other!

your crypto wallet can expose more about your finances than your bank ever did. your balance, payment history, who you paid, and every wallet you've interacted with can be visible onchain. and once your wallet is linked to your identity, that history can be traced back to you. crypto wallets are private, but not completely anonymous. your wallet doesn't show your name on it. but when you connect that wallet to your identity once through a cex, a payment, an nft, or even getting paid in usdc and the rest of your financial history can become much easier to trace. that connection can stay visible forever. this is one of the biggest missing pieces for crypto adoption. people want the benefits of onchain finance like self-custody, fast transfers, global access, defi and more. but most people don't want their entire financial life displayed on a public ledger. your bank doesn't publish your balance and payment history for everyone to inspect. your wallet shouldn't do that too the problem is making full transparency the default. having the choice to decide what should be public and what should stay private is highly need stealf has a way around this. with stealf, your spending account and your private wallet shouldn't have to be the same thing. it uses two layers, one is a stablecoin payment account connected to banking rails for everyday spending. the other is your private wallet, powered by umbra. your private wallet is self-custodial and you can create one or import the wallet you already use. you can shield your assets and send them privately to other umbra users. the private balance hides amounts and private activity from being readable onchain. then there's the spending side. when you want to pay for something like coffee, funds can move to your spending account and you use the card or banking rails normally. the important part is that there is no onchain link between your spending account and private wallet. stealf is trying to bring privacy into the solana ecosystem where people already trade, swap and earn. and privacy isn't limited to sending money. you can buy gift cards through the app using your private balance. you can also stake sol into jitosol or access xstocks. the investment side is public for now, with private yield planned. how it's built, stealf uses: - arcium for encrypted compute and mpc - umbra for private transfers - solana for settlement - turnkey for key management together, these create the two-layer architecture stealf is building around. crypto already solved self-custody, gave us global and permissionless financial rails. privacy is the piece that brings those rails closer to the financial privacy people are already used to. stealf is currently in beta, building that experience on solana. private money shouldn't have to mean unusable money. and usable crypto shouldn't have to mean giving up your financial privacy. that’s what stealf is built for. ~ @STEALFxyz | @Arcium
