🎯 The Problem

Every agent transaction is a public broadcast. MEV bots, competitors, and surveillance actors can see everything:

❌ Public Agent Transaction ✅ Shielded Agent Transaction (Sipher)

Sender:    AgentAlice.sol
Recipient: AgentBob.sol
Amount:    50 SOL
Token:     wSOL
Time:      2024-02-08 14:30 UTC

🔴 Sender address exposed → targeted phishing
🔴 Recipient known → front-running, sandwich attacks
🔴 Amount visible → MEV extraction
🔴 Pattern analysis → trading strategy leaked
🔴 Counterparty graph → competitive intelligence

Sender:    <stealth address>
Recipient: <one-time stealth address>
Amount:    <Pedersen commitment>
Proof:     <range proof: amount ≥ threshold>
Audit:     <viewing key for compliance>

✅ Stealth address → unlinkable sender
✅ One-time address → no recipient reuse
✅ Hidden amount → Pedersen commitment
✅ Compliance → selective disclosure via viewing keys
✅ On-chain proof → verifiable without revealing data

💡 The Solution

Sipher sits between your agent and the blockchain, adding privacy primitives to every transaction:

🚀 Your First Private Payment in 3 API Calls

No setup, no SDK, no wallet. Just curl.

Step 1 — Generate a stealth meta-address (recipient side):

curl -s -X POST https://sipher.sip-protocol.org/v1/stealth/generate \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: your-key" \
  -d '{"chain": "solana"}' | jq '.data.metaAddress'

Returns spending + viewing public keys (base58 for Solana). Share these with the sender.

Step 2 — Derive a one-time stealth address (sender side):

curl -s -X POST https://sipher.sip-protocol.org/v1/stealth/derive \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: your-key" \
  -d '{
    "recipientMetaAddress": {
      "spendingKey": "<spendingKey from step 1>",
      "viewingKey": "<viewingKey from step 1>",
      "chain": "solana"
    }
  }' | jq '.data.stealthAddress'

Returns an unlinkable one-time address. No one can connect it to the recipient.

Step 3 — Build a shielded transfer:

curl -s -X POST https://sipher.sip-protocol.org/v1/transfer/shield \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: your-key" \
  -d '{
    "senderAddress": "YourSolanaAddress",
    "recipientMetaAddress": {
      "spendingKey": "<spendingKey from step 1>",
      "viewingKey": "<viewingKey from step 1>",
      "chain": "solana"
    },
    "amount": "1000000000",
    "mint": "So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112"
  }' | jq '.data'

Returns an unsigned transaction + Pedersen commitment. Sign and submit to Solana.

Or see everything at once (no API key needed):

curl -s https://sipher.sip-protocol.org/v1/demo | jq '.data.summary'

🛡️ What is Sipher?

Sipher wraps SIP Protocol's privacy SDK as a REST API and OpenClaw-compatible skill. Any autonomous agent — Claude, LangChain, CrewAI, OpenClaw, or raw HTTP — can call Sipher to transact privately across 17 blockchains.

Think of it like upgrading from HTTP to HTTPS, but for agent transactions:

Public Transactions  →  Sipher API  →  Private Transactions
(everyone sees)         (one call)      (only you and your auditor see)

🔐 Trust Model

Agents trusting a REST API with cryptographic material is a real concern. Here's exactly what Sipher sees at each endpoint:

Endpoint	Server Sees	Server Does NOT See	Trust Level
`/stealth/generate`	`chain` param	— (keys generated & returned, not stored)	Low
`/stealth/derive`	Meta-address public keys	Recipient private keys	Low
`/stealth/check`	Both private keys (ephemeral)	—	High
`/transfer/shield`	Sender, meta-address, amount	Recipient private keys	Medium
`/transfer/claim`	Spending + viewing private keys	—	Critical
`/commitment/create`	Plaintext value	— (commitment hides on-chain)	Medium
`/viewing-key/disclose`	Viewing key + plaintext tx data	—	High
`/viewing-key/decrypt`	Viewing key + ciphertext	—	High
`/scan/assets`	Stealth address (public)	Private keys	Low

Mitigations:

Stateless server — no keys, private data, or session secrets are persisted. Every request is independent.
Audit log redaction — all private keys, blinding factors, and viewing keys are automatically redacted ([REDACTED]) in structured logs.
Zero-trust alternative — for maximum security, agents can use @sip-protocol/sdk directly. Same cryptographic primitives, no server involved.
/transfer/claim caveat — this is a convenience endpoint. Production agents should derive stealth keys client-side using the SDK and only submit the resulting transaction.

⛓️ On-Chain Program

Sipher's privacy operations are backed by a deployed Solana Anchor program:

Field	Value
Program ID	`S1PMFspo4W6BYKHWkHNF7kZ3fnqibEXg3LQjxepS9at`
Config PDA	`BVawZkppFewygA5nxdrLma4ThKx8Th7bW4KTCkcWTZwZ`
Fee Collector	`S1P6j1yeTm6zkewQVeihrTZvmfoHABRkHDhabWTuWMd`
Network	Solana Mainnet-Beta
Features	Transfer records (PDA), Pedersen commitments, viewing key hashes
SDK Function	`shieldedTransfer()` — builds Anchor instructions with discriminators
ZK Verifier	SunspotVerifier — Noir → Groth16 (in SDK, integration roadmap)

The transfer/shield endpoint builds unsigned transactions targeting this program. The SDK's shieldedTransfer() constructs the full Anchor instruction with account discriminators, PDA derivation for transfer records, and commitment data embedding.

🔬 Cryptographic Primitives (Real, Not Mocked)

Every crypto operation uses audited, production-grade libraries:

Primitive	Library	What It Does
Ed25519 Stealth	`@noble/curves`	One-time addresses via ECDH (Solana, NEAR, Move)
secp256k1 Stealth	`@noble/curves`	EVM, Cosmos, Bitcoin stealth addresses
Pedersen Commitments	`@sip-protocol/sdk`	Homomorphic hidden amounts (add, subtract, verify)
XChaCha20-Poly1305	`@noble/ciphers`	Viewing key encryption/decryption (AEAD)
SHA-256	`@noble/hashes`	Key hashing, view tags
Keccak-256	`@noble/hashes`	Nullifier derivation (governance)
BIP32/BIP39	`@scure/bip32`	Hierarchical viewing key derivation
STARK Range Proofs	Custom (M31 field)	Prove value >= threshold without revealing value

All @noble/* and @scure/* libraries are by Paul Miller — independently audited, zero-dependency, used by MetaMask, Ethereum Foundation, and the broader Web3 ecosystem.

🤖 Built for Agents, Not Humans

Sipher isn't a human tool with an API bolted on. Every design decision prioritizes autonomous agents:

Pillar	How Sipher Delivers
Discovery	`/skill.md` — OpenClaw-compatible skill file. Agents discover, parse, and use all 71 endpoints without human configuration. Self-describing API at `/`, error catalog at `/v1/errors`, full schema at `/v1/openapi.json`.
Integration	Pure REST + JSON. No browser, no OAuth, no cookies. 4 auto-generated SDKs (TypeScript, Python, Rust, Go). API key auth via `X-API-Key` header — the simplest auth pattern for agents.
Autonomy	`privacy-demo-agent.ts` runs 20 steps across 34 endpoints with zero human intervention. Sessions (`X-Session-Id`) maintain state across multi-step workflows. No CAPTCHA, no manual verification.
Reliability	11+ mutation endpoints support `Idempotency-Key` for safe retries. Structured error responses with machine-readable codes and retry guidance. Agents can reason about failures, not parse HTML error pages.
Economy	Usage metering + daily quotas + tiered billing (free/pro/enterprise). Agents can check quota at `/v1/billing/usage` and plan operations. Pay-per-use infrastructure for the agent economy.

Autonomous agent demo (zero human intervention):

npx tsx scripts/privacy-demo-agent.ts
# 20 steps: generate → derive → shield → scan → claim → encrypt → disclose → govern → tally

Multi-agent payment demo (Alice → Bob → Auditor):

npx tsx scripts/multi-agent-demo.ts
# 5 acts: setup → payment → discovery → claim → compliance (17 endpoints)

LangChain tool integration:

// Sipher works as a LangChain StructuredTool — no special SDK needed
class SipherStealthGenerate extends StructuredTool {
  name = 'sipher_stealth_generate'
  description = 'Generate a stealth meta-address for private payments'
  schema = z.object({ chain: z.string().optional() })

  async _call({ chain }: { chain?: string }) {
    const res = await fetch('https://sipher.sip-protocol.org/v1/stealth/generate', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'X-API-Key': process.env.SIPHER_KEY! },
      body: JSON.stringify({ chain: chain || 'solana' }),
    })
    return JSON.stringify((await res.json()).data.metaAddress)
  }
}

// Works with: LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGPT, OpenClaw, any tool-calling framework
// Full example: npx tsx scripts/langchain-tool-example.ts

🌐 Multi-Chain Support (17 Chains)

Stealth address endpoints support 17 chains across 6 families with automatic curve detection:

Chain Family	Chains	Curve	Key Size
Solana	solana	ed25519	32 bytes
NEAR	near	ed25519	32 bytes
Move	aptos, sui	ed25519	32 bytes
EVM	ethereum, polygon, arbitrum, optimism, base	secp256k1	33 bytes
Cosmos	cosmos, osmosis, injective, celestia, sei, dydx	secp256k1	33 bytes
Bitcoin	bitcoin, zcash	secp256k1	33 bytes

All /stealth/* endpoints accept a chain parameter (default: solana). The curve is auto-detected based on chain.

🔒 Agent Workflow

Complete privacy flow from stealth address generation to auditor disclosure:

1. Agent generates stealth meta-address     POST /v1/stealth/generate
        │
2. Agent shares meta-address with sender    (off-chain)
        │
3. Sender derives one-time stealth address  POST /v1/stealth/derive
        │
4. Sender builds shielded transfer          POST /v1/transfer/shield
        │  Returns: unsigned tx + commitment + viewing key hash
        │
5. Sender signs + submits the unsigned transaction to Solana
        │
6. Recipient scans for incoming payments    POST /v1/scan/payments
        │
7. Recipient claims to real wallet          POST /v1/transfer/claim
        │
8. If audit needed → selective disclosure   POST /v1/viewing-key/disclose
        │
9. Auditor decrypts with viewing key        POST /v1/viewing-key/decrypt

Each step uses real cryptographic operations: ECDH key agreement, Pedersen commitments, XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption, and BIP32 key derivation.

🗺️ Decentralization Roadmap

Sipher is infrastructure, not just an API. Here's the path from convenience layer to protocol:

Phase	Timeline	What	Trust Model
Phase 1 (now)	Q1 2026	Centralized REST API	Agent trusts server (stateless, key-redacting audit logs)
Phase 2	Q2 2026	On-chain privacy program expansion	Stealth derivation + commitment verification as CPI-able Solana instructions. Jupiter/Raydium can compose directly.
Phase 3	Q3 2026	Decentralized protocol	On-chain registry of stealth meta-addresses, fee accrual to protocol, network effects. REST API becomes optional convenience layer.

Phase 2 expands the existing mainnet program (S1PMFspo4W6BYKHWkHNF7kZ3fnqibEXg3LQjxepS9at) with CPI-able instructions — any Solana program can add privacy natively, without HTTP calls.

Why start centralized? Iteration speed. A REST API lets us battle-test the crypto, refine the agent UX, and ship 71 endpoints in 10 days. The on-chain migration preserves the same primitives (stealth addresses, Pedersen commitments, viewing keys) while removing the trust assumption.
