ORE partners with PrivacyCash to launch a shielded pool on Solana, enabling private on-chain transfers using zero-knowledge technology.
Author: Tanishq Bodh
January 1, 2025 – ORE has announced a partnership with PrivacyCash to deploy an official shielded pool on Solana, enabling private transfers of ORE tokens. Revealed on January 2, 2026, the integration allows users to encrypt transaction details while retaining settlement on Solana’s public blockchain. As a result, ORE holders can now move assets without exposing amounts or addresses on-chain.
The update introduces PrivacyCash’s zero-knowledge infrastructure to ORE’s ecosystem. According to the announcement, users can “shield” ORE into a privacy pool and later withdraw to fresh addresses, breaking transaction linkability. The feature marks a notable step for privacy tooling on Solana, where most activity remains fully transparent by default.
Initial market response has been muted, with no immediate price volatility reported following the launch. However, engagement across the Solana ecosystem increased as developers and users discussed the broader implications for on-chain privacy. Meanwhile, privacy-focused tokens and infrastructure projects saw renewed attention as traders tracked what some describe as an emerging “privacy meta” for 2026.
ORE’s team seeded the shielded pool with more than 100 ORE tokens to bootstrap the anonymity set. This move aimed to ensure early usability, as privacy effectiveness depends on pooled participation. As adoption grows, analysts expect usage metrics, rather than short-term price moves, to become the key indicator of success.

Despite the technical milestone, privacy features remain sensitive from a regulatory perspective. Shielded pools can attract scrutiny due to concerns around illicit finance and sanctions compliance. PrivacyCash states that it incorporates safeguards designed to address global requirements, including OFAC-related considerations, though details remain limited.
In addition, sustained adoption will depend on user trust and liquidity depth. Without sufficient participation, anonymity sets remain small, reducing privacy guarantees. As a result, continued usage and transparent communication around compliance controls will be critical.
PrivacyCash operates as a decentralized protocol specializing in zero-knowledge transfers. Since launching in August 2025, it has processed over $150 million in transactions and completed 14 security audits. The protocol already supports assets such as SOL, USDC, USDT, and ZEC, with ORE now added to the list.
ORE integrated the shielded pool directly into its app via a dedicated “Shield” feature, allowing one-click access for ORE, SOL, USDC, and USDT. ORE positions itself as a mineable store-of-value asset optimized for Solana’s throughput, drawing comparisons to Bitcoin’s scarcity model. By adding native privacy, the project aims to strengthen its utility for users seeking confidential value transfers on a high-speed network.
As Solana continues to expand its privacy stack, the ORE–PrivacyCash integration highlights a broader push to balance transparency with user confidentiality across decentralized finance.
