Sunsetting Elusiv: Transitioning Towards the Future of Privacy and Confidentiality

Today, we are announcing the sunset of Elusiv, a pivotal chapter in our mission to scale privacy in Web 3. Elusiv brought a suite of features that sparked significant awareness and adoption of privacy in the Solana Ecosystem. Its success, driven by our community’s tremendous trust and support, has laid the foundation for privacy to evolve further and expand, serving as an essential catalyst to the mass adoption of Web 3. As we move forward with an enhanced direction and vision, Elusiv will remain the vital foundation of our story.

From this moment, deposits and private swaps will be disabled in the Elusiv Webapp. Elusiv will transition to a withdrawal-only mode where users can withdraw their funds until January 1, 2025.

A note to the community

We are beyond grateful to the extended community that has supported our mission so far. From our users to developers to ecosystem partners — with you, Elusiv is where it is today. You have been a part of laying the groundwork required for this entire space to evolve. For that, we thank you.

We now look forward to this new beginning, which brings immense opportunity. As of today, we have taken a comprehensive snapshot of the Elusiv protocol, aiming to bring with us the integrity and unity the Elusiv community has created as we transition toward a bigger vision.

The dawn of a new chapter in privacy and confidentiality

The Elusiv journey saw several momentous milestones. From launching on mainnet in March 2023 to open-sourcing our SDK to deploying an ecosystem first with Private Swaps, privacy on Solana has come a long way. Though the journey had many moments worth celebrating, we learned even more. Through relentless building, new opportunities arose. Simultaneously, our vision expanded beyond what we initially thought possible.

One of the critical realizations boiled down to this: privacy and confidentiality must be more than features to scale. More importantly, they must be configurable and accessible enough to be leveraged by default for various use cases. As our digital infrastructure evolves to be more open and decentralized, privacy and confidentiality will play an essential role in redefining the dynamics of trust in these systems, setting new precedents for human coordination. We aim to empower the world in this transition, establishing symbiotic relationships between humans, organizations, and technology that unleashes a new spectrum of value.

Introducing MXEs: A Glimpse into the Future

In the spirit of innovation and relentless pursuit of progress, we are thrilled to hint at the dawn of something monumental — MXEs. This breakthrough is poised to revolutionize the landscape of privacy and confidentiality, unlocking hundreds of new use cases. MXEs are an advancement of Elusiv tech, heralding a new era where privacy and confidentiality are not just features but foundational pillars of digital interaction.
