The privacy conversation on Solana just got a lot more interesting!
Our founders went live with @catmcgee and @deanmlittle on The Privacy Show speaking about Solana's technical progress, zk schemes, and quantum security.
Let us know what you think :)
We built Sombra to shield payments on Solana so that amounts, recipients, and memos never touch the public record.
Lately, we keep coming back to the same question: if your payments deserve privacy, why doesn't your staking position?
Sombra extends privacy into the quantum future on Solana so that transfer amounts, recipients, and the entire “who paid whom” remain hidden even under future quantum attacks.
Great work on the privacy case study @kxrnel
Big milestone for the team!
We are building infrastructure for Solana that will last decades. Beyond excited for this next phase of Sombra
Mainnet next 🫡
Sombra is live on devnet! 🎉
We're counting down to the last day your transactions have to be public.
Sombra is quantum-safe privacy for Solana. Every transfer hides the amount, the sender, and the recipient, using cryptography built to outlast quantum computers.
Sombra - the wallet bringing quantum-security and privacy to Solana
Beyond excited to share what our team has been working on to the public. Sign up to join the waitlist & give us feedback!
The future of crypto privacy is quantum-resistant.
Meet Sombra 🤎
Built for threats that don't exist yet.

@solana sees quantum risk as a distant future. Fine.
There are others in the ecosystem who have been proactive about post-quantum solutions.
We are deploying post-quantum privacy on Solana today.
Sovereign privacy. Sovereign money.
@SolanaFndn@anza_xyz@jump_firedancer We are one of the few being proactive about quantum risk, especially as it relates to privacy.
Post-quantum signatures do not protect classically encrypted secrets.
If you care about privacy that survives the quantum era, chat with us.
DMs are open.
$600M across 14 protocols sounds catastrophic.
But when a quantum computer breaks ECC, every wallet, every bridge, every signature on every chain is vulnerable at once.
Trillions.
PQC from the start ✅
Migration cost and complexity ❌
Having quantum-security from the onset avoids the expensive migration all existing protocols have to undergo.
Google has publicly committed to a 2029 timeline for post-quantum cryptography migration. If this isn't the clearest signal yet for near term risk to encryption, I'm not sure what is.
Bonsol is now featured in the @SolanaFndn's enterprise report on confidential computing on Solana.
Alongside Contra, Arcium and MagicBlock, Bonsol is recognised as core infrastructure for private, verifiable computation on Solana.
Here’s what we're building with QCash👇
1/ Today, we’re introducing QCash: a quantum-safe private transfer system built on Solana.
Most blockchain privacy systems assume elliptic curve cryptography remains secure. QCash does not. This includes privacy layers built on zk-SNARKs that ultimately depend on classical signature assumptions.
It is designed under a post-quantum threat model from day one. QCash treats quantum resistance not as an upgrade path, but as a foundational requirement for long-term asset security.
CATLUMPURR 26 Recap 🌳
Massive shoutout to everyone who turned up at Kuala Lumpur with electric, innovative, and quantum entangled energy, along with the @JupiterExchange crew.
The “What the F*ck Is Quantum?” session resonated with the crowd. We talked about how to future proof private payments on Solana and introduced what we’ve been working on for the past few months - QCash, Quantum Secure Privacy Transfers on Solana! cc: @sonofformosa, @en_tropyc
Institutional adoption of onchain infrastructure depends on getting privacy right.
Financial institutions can’t expose sensitive trades, client positions, or settlement flows on a public ledger. Confidentiality is a regulatory requirement, a client expectation, and a competitive necessity.
Modern cryptography changes the tradeoff. Institutions can coordinate on a shared ledger while keeping transaction details offchain, publishing only cryptographic proofs that the rules were followed.
Privacy doesn’t have to mean black boxes. With Bonsol, you can build systems that keep data and models private while still proving correctness, compliance, or AI-driven decisions cryptographically.
If you’re building for the Privacy Hack starting Jan 12, this is a fun and powerful primitive to experiment with on Solana.
