# Introduction

You worked hard for what you have.

Late nights. Calculated risks. Years of learning a space most people still don't understand. And somewhere along the way, it paid off.

But the moment it did, something changed.

Your wallet became a window. Anyone with a browser can see exactly what you hold, what you've done, and what you're worth. Not your bank. Not your government. Anyone. The person across from you at a conference. The stranger who found your ENS name. The analytics firm that has been tracking wallets like yours for years.

This is the part nobody told you about DeFi. The freedom was real. The transparency was the price.

This changes here.

Redacted is a private DeFi layer built on [Rujira](https://rujira.network), THORChain's app layer. Deposit into a shared private Reserve, and from that moment your DeFi life runs from a private account with no visible connection to your public wallet. Trade, swap, stake, borrow. Everything you already do, without your life story attached to every transaction.

And it feels like nothing else in crypto:

**Sign once. That's it.** One sign-in when you open Private Mode. After that, every action is authorized by zero-knowledge proofs generated in your browser and carried on-chain by a relayer. Your wallet never signs another transaction. No gas juggling, no new chain, no new seed phrase.

**There is no database.** Your account is not a row on our server. It lives on-chain as encrypted notes that only your keys can read. Any browser, anywhere, can rebuild it from the chain alone. Our infrastructure is a convenience, never a custodian.

**Your wallet is the key, not the identity.** MetaMask, Rabby, Keplr, Trust and more. The wallet you already have derives your private account and then steps out of the picture.

> Trade privately. Bank on-chain. Stay in control.
