@SiloXMR is open. a little late, a little nervous, very happy to be here.
we kept finding things we wanted to fix before handing it over to you. “one last thing” turned into a few more. so we fixed them.
one wallet for solana and native monero. real monero, no wrapping required.
your keys stay on your device. one backup file restores both.
we’re still in beta, so start small and be gentle. there are rough edges, and we’d love your help finding them.
we’ll also be posting a few short how-to videos over the next few hours to help you get settled in.
thanks for sticking around. come say hi 🧡
ape in public. cash out private.עות הק

today was wild. way more of you showed up than we expected.
you told us the $XMR to $SOL spread was too high. so we cut it to 0.50%. you asked, we cut it.
then you asked to see the code. so we spent the whole day getting it ready. the swap, the maker, the protocol, the docs, all of it, open for anyone to read, run and pull apart. it goes public tonight.
we care as much about making silo beautiful and easy for anyone to use as we do about making it smart and secure. you deserve that. Monero does too.
keep telling us what we're getting wrong. we're here to listen, and to learn from you.
and we won't stop until your grandma knows how to buy Monero.

it’s live.
native $XMR in. native $SOL out.
no bridge. no wrapped token. no exchange account. nobody holding your money in the middle.
both sides move, or neither does.
atomic swaps are now inside silo.
open beta. start small.

we’ve been quiet. the repo hasn’t.
we know the silence and delays have been frustrating. we should’ve kept you closer to what’s happening.
our ambition has always gone beyond grainpad: bring privacy to people who would never think to download a monero wallet. make it useful across payments, wallets, and trading. give people an experience they want to come back to.
sending a private payment shouldn’t require a research phase and three emotional support tabs.
that’s where our two obsessions meet: technology and design.
can someone understand the next step? tell whether their money arrived? recover their wallet without a small spiritual crisis?
those details are onboarding. they decide whether the engineering ever reaches the person it was built for.
too much of monero still asks people to put up with the experience for the sake of the technology. a fresh coat of AI-generated UI doesn’t solve that.
“built to stay” is a nice line. giving people a reason to stay takes care.
over the past few days, we’ve built a ridiculous amount across grainpad, silo, and things still under wraps. then we found issues we couldn’t comfortably ship. fixing them pushed back releases, walkthroughs, and announcements we were excited to share.
we’re impatient too. several “final fixes” have now had children.
and yes, we’re showing less before release. we’ve watched early previews become someone else’s roadmap. we’d rather make the next reveal with something you can actually use.
behind this account are people who care deeply about the code, the design, and the person trying it for the first time. we want someone who came for a token to leave knowing how to use monero. and someone who came for privacy to find a product they love.
the card is a glimpse into our private repo.
you’ve seen a fraction of what we’re building. we’re working to put the rest in your hands. expect us.
a small favor for future you: back up your silo wallet 🧡
save the file, verify it, and keep a copy off your device. keep your passphrase safe too. this walkthrough shows you how.

your first @SiloXMR wallet, step by step 🧡
accept the beta terms, tap Enter Silo, then Open Solana wallet. choose a passphrase and hit Create wallet.
back it up next, and keep your backup file and passphrase safe. we can’t recover them for you.
open beta. start small.

silo beta: the wallet is built, tested on mainnet, and locked.
one last security pass before real money goes in.
we don't rush that part.

Kraken: Asking How Funds Will Be Used After Leaving the Platform Is Unacceptable; XMR Will Remain Listed
Kraken co-CEO Arjun Sethi said the platform was wrong to send emails to clients who bought and withdrew Monero (XMR) using their own money, asking for information about their employer, source of funds, and intended use of the coins. He said no rule required these inquiries, and someone had flagged a client simply for being young and having substantial funds.
The requests have been withdrawn, and affected clients have been told they do not need to provide anything. Sethi said asking where funds came from is reasonable, but asking how they will be used after leaving the platform is unacceptable. Kraken has removed such questions and will keep XMR listed.
this is the only official silo account.
there is no silo token. there never will be.
the only token is $GRAIN:

we never dm first. we never ask for your recovery phrase or passphrase.
anyone who does is not us.

exchanges answer to regulators. that's their job.
your own wallet answers to you.
silo: native xmr next to your solana tokens, keys on your device.
