About Awa
A decentralized, non-custodial privacy solution built on Solana. It improves transaction privacy by breaking the on-chain link between source and destination addresses using zero-knowledge cryptography (ZK-SNARKs).
Our Mission
In a world where blockchain transparency can compromise financial privacy, Awa stands as a guardian of your right to private transactions. We believe that privacy is a fundamental right, not a privilege.
Built on cutting-edge zero-knowledge cryptography and Solana's high-performance blockchain, Awa enables you to maintain complete control of your funds while ensuring that your transaction history remains confidential and secure with lightning-fast confirmations.

How It Works
The technology behind complete privacy
Zero-Knowledge Proofs
When you deposit crypto, you receive a secret note. This note allows you to prove ownership of funds in the pool without revealing which specific deposit is yours. Using ZK-SNARK technology, you can withdraw to any address while maintaining complete anonymity.
Anonymity Sets
Your privacy increases with every deposit in the pool. The more deposits there are, the larger your anonymity set becomes. With thousands of deposits, it becomes mathematically impossible to trace which withdrawal corresponds to which deposit.
Non-Custodial Security
Awa is fully decentralized. There are no admin keys, no backdoors, and no way for anyone (including us) to access your funds. The Solana programs are immutable and provide complete security for your assets.
