Umbra's technical documentation is now live. Complete coverage of how our privacy system works: how we hide transaction amounts, how we break links between transfers, how we generate unique addresses for every transaction, and how we enable compliance without compromising user privacy. Built for anyone who wants to understand how Umbra delivers financial privacy on Solana.
What's Inside
Core Concepts covers how Umbra provides privacy: encrypted balances that hide amounts, the mixer pool that breaks transaction links, and selective transparency that lets auditors verify without compromising user privacy. Key Architecture explains how stealth addresses work and how users generate unique receiving addresses for every transaction. Transaction Lifecycle walks through every step: registering on Umbra, sending private transfers, moving funds between public and private balances, and managing addresses.
Security & Cryptography
Security section breaks down the math behind Umbra's privacy guarantees. How encryption keeps balances confidential. How zero-knowledge proofs validate transactions without revealing details. How multi-party computation protects against various attack scenarios. Built for security researchers and auditors to verify our approach, but written to be understandable.
What's Next
These architecture docs establish the foundation. Developer SDK documentation and integration guides coming soon. For now, this is everything needed to understand how Umbra works and verify the privacy guarantees for yourself.
