Saturn — a sovereign SVM chain with private transfers

/01 WHY SATURNPUBLIC IS A CHOICE

On a public chain, every payment you ever make is public forever — amounts, balances, counterparties, indexed and searchable by anyone. Saturn exists so that stops being the default.

A chain with one job

Saturn doesn't rent blockspace or share a mempool. It seals its own blocks, and the whole chain is tuned around a single builtin: the shielded pool.

Real Solana muscle

Execution is Agave's solana-svm — the same engine that runs Solana mainnet, not an imitation of it.

Nothing to relearn

Your wallet, web3.js, and the solana CLI already speak Saturn. Add one endpoint and you're in.

01 WHAT THE CHAIN LEARNS

Groth16 proofs verify every private transfer while revealing nothing — not the sender, not the amount, not the asset.

02 BRIDGE-BACKED SUPPLY

Every SATURN in circulation is minted 1:1 against assets locked in the settlement program on Solana. No emissions, no inflation quietly diluting what you hold.

03 STEPS TO CONNECT

Point your existing Solana wallet at a Saturn endpoint. That's the entire migration.

04 TOKENS THAT CAN HIDE

ALL

Every SPL token minted on Saturn can enter the shielded pool — not just the native coin.

/02 HOW IT DISAPPEARSGROTH16 + POSEIDON

The shielded pool is a chain builtin, not a contract someone deployed. Tokens enter, move, and leave — the chain verifies every step without seeing any of it.

/01

Shield

Deposit any SPL token into the pool. A Poseidon commitment joins the note tree, and the token leaves public view.

/02

Transfer

Spend notes inside the pool with Groth16 proofs. Assets, amounts, and counterparties stay hidden.

/03

Unshield

Withdraw to any address. The exit reveals nothing about which deposit it came from.

/03 WHAT IT'S FORSEALED BY DEFAULT

01CASE — PAYROLLANY SPL TOKEN

Private payroll

Pay a whole team from a shielded treasury. Salaries land without anyone reading them off the chain.

02CASE — TREASURYSEALED BALANCES

Confidential treasury

Hold and move operating funds without broadcasting balances to competitors, counterparties, and bots.

03CASE — PERSONALNO TRAIL

Personal privacy

Your balance is nobody's business. Shield once, then spend without leaving a trail.

/04 BRING YOUR TOOLSSOLANA JSON-RPC

Saturn answers Solana JSON-RPC over HTTP and WebSocket. Wallets, explorers, and apps built for Solana connect to Saturn like it's home — zero code changes.

// answered by Saturn — nothing else changes

Add the network

Point your Solana wallet at a Saturn RPC endpoint — one custom-network entry, nothing to install.
