Vanta.cash Documentation
Vanta.cash is the first self-destroying mixer on the Solana blockchain. Our mission is simple: to enable private, irreversible transactions with zero trace and no third-party trust.
What is Vanta?
Vanta.cash is a Solana-native protocol that allows users to send funds through randomized, delayed, and destructible paths, making the origin of funds untraceable — even by forensic tools.
Key Properties:
- 100% on-chain (no backend servers)
- No user tracking, session data, or cookies
- Fully decentralized mixing logic
- No third-party custody at any stage
How It Works
When a user initiates a mix:
- 1A temporary burner wallet is automatically generated.
- 2The user sends SOL or SPL tokens to this wallet.
- 3Based on the chosen delay timer, Vanta queues a randomized transfer.
- 4Token flow is split, delayed, and routed through multiple self-destructing wallets.
- 5The final destination wallet receives the funds with no traceable path on-chain.
- 6A Proof of Self-Destruction (PoSD) is generated — a signed message confirming that no link remains.
Vanta leverages Solana's speed and low transaction costs to provide efficient, secure mixing with minimal fees. All operations are performed on-chain for maximum transparency and security.
Obfuscation Levels
Users can choose different levels of anonymity:
Level | Description | Delay | Wallet Hops | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Level 1 | Basic Mix | 10 min | 1 | Fast, low-cost |
Level 2 | Multi-Hop Mix | 1h | 3 | Ideal balance |
Level 3 | Full Vanta | 6h+ | 5–7 | Maximum privacy |
Higher levels cost slightly more (fee in SOL), but offer deeper unlinkability.
Vanta Timebomb Delay
Vanta uses a delayed execution engine that simulates a "fuse timer" for each transaction.
Benefits:
- Breaks timestamp analysis
- Adds unpredictability to fund movements
- Reduces clustering of transactions on-chain
Execution is randomized within the delay window (e.g., 1h ± 15min), making blockchain pattern recognition ineffective.
Proof of Self-Destruction (PoSD)
After a mix is completed, Vanta provides the user with a PoSD certificate — an optional zero-knowledge-based statement that verifies:
- Tokens were routed through Vanta
- No wallet link to the origin exists
- Vanta does not hold or store the PoSD itself
You can download a .pdf version of your PoSD or view it as a base64 JSON blob.
Use case: Present PoSD to verify compliance without revealing wallet history
Burner Wallet Architecture
Each transaction is routed through a freshly generated, never-reused burner wallet.
Key Points:
- Wallets are created on-chain and funded temporarily
- Once transaction completes, wallet is drained & closed
- No wallet ever appears twice
- Wallets can be optionally generated via your device (offline)
// Example of burner wallet creation
const burnerWallet = await vanta.createBurnerWallet();
// Wallet is automatically destroyed after use
await vanta.executeWithBurner(burnerWallet, {
destination: targetAddress,
amount: 1.5, // SOL
obfuscationLevel: 2
});
// No trace remains after execution completes

FAQ
Is using Vanta illegal?
No. Vanta is a privacy tool, not a laundering service. It does not encourage or enable criminal activity.
Can my transactions be linked back to me?
No, not if you used a clean burner wallet and chose sufficient delay.
Do I need to stake a token to use Vanta?
No staking required in v1. In future versions, $VANTA token may provide discounts or priority mixing.
Can someone view my past mixes?
Only you can view your PoSD via wallet connect. Vanta does not maintain any user records.
