Bonding-curve token launches with hidden buyers, visible price action
A Pump.fun-style launchpad where bonding-curve mechanics, trade sizes, and the social feed stay fully visible - but no observer can attribute any trade to any wallet. Whales buy without triggering copy-trade cascades; devs sell without panic dumps.
What this enables
- →Whale-safe token launches. A 50K USDC buy is visible. The price impact is visible. The buyer is not. No Nansen alert. No "smart money" notification. No copy-trade cascade.
- →Dev-safe token creation. Creators launch without their wallet becoming a permanent surveillance target. Sells show on the curve (price drops); attribution to the dev wallet does not.
- →Anonymous participation across launches. Users participate in dozens of launches without building a trackable on-chain profile. No wallet-level history for analytics to aggregate.
- →Post-graduation privacy continuity. When a token graduates to Ekubo, the existing swap helper keeps trading private. Full lifecycle anonymity - no other chain offers this.
What you build
A BondingCurveFactory deploying per-token curves. Each curve is a privacy_invoke helper handling buy / sell / graduate. Buyers route USDC notes through the pool, the curve computes tokens-out, returns them as an OpenNoteDeposit. At market-cap threshold, anyone calls graduate and liquidity migrates to Ekubo with the curve's final price. The social feed reads public events (amounts, timestamps, price) - just no "who."
What it doesn't solve
Sniping. Bots that monitor for new contract deployments still work - they don't need to know who you are to front-run. Anti-snipe (launch delay, commit-reveal first block, rate limits, graduated fees) is layered on top as optional modules.
The revenue argument
Pump.fun does $25–31M/month in fees even in bear markets. A Starknet version capturing 1% of the memecoin launch market is $250–310K/month. The privacy angle attracts the segment most willing to pay premium fees for anonymity - whales, alpha hunters, sensitive creators.
Hidden vs visible
| Element | Hidden | Visible | | --- | --- | --- | | Buyer / seller identity | Yes - paymaster submits all tx | | | Trade amounts | | Yes - open notes are plaintext | | Price, market cap, supply | | Yes - bonding curve state is public | | Dev token holdings | Yes - encrypted notes in the pool | | | Total volume, trade history | | Yes (aggregate) - but not attributable |

Idea 03
Trustless, atomic, private OTC settlement for large block trades
Two counterparties agree off-chain, settle on-chain through the privacy pool: no intermediary holds funds, no counterparty risk, and neither party's identity is linked to the trade. 5–15bps per side undercuts every desk in the market.
Idea 07
Prediction markets with visible odds and invisible bettors
Bet sizes and odds stay fully visible - the information aggregation works. Bettor identities are completely hidden. Markets stay informationally efficient while the identity-based manipulation that plagues Polymarket disappears.
