Cyphers hides which side you bet on - YES, NO, or which option - until the market settles. Your wallet address and stake are still public. Here’s how it works.

​
What’s hidden, what’s not

​
How the encryption works

When you click Bet, your browser runs a short key-exchange before anything touches Solana: The shared secret - the number both sides derive independently using Diffie-Hellman - never appears on chain. Anyone reading the chain sees encrypted bytes they can’t reverse.

​
The key in your browser

After a successful bet, the app saves your private key to browser local storage, keyed by market + bet index. It uses this key for one thing: showing you your own side in the Positions tab.
Clearing browser data or switching to a different device removes this key. Your side shows as “encrypted” in the UI - but your bet and payout are completely safe. The protocol already knows the result from the Arcium decryption at settlement. You don’t need the key to claim.

​
What Cyphers doesn’t protect

  • Your wallet is public. Anyone can list your on-chain positions.
  • Your stake is public. The amount is in plain text on chain.
  • That you bet on a market is public. Cyphers hides what you bet, not that you bet.
  • Timing is public. Block timestamps show roughly when each bet was placed.
If you need to hide your participation entirely, you’d need a separate wallet - that’s outside what Cyphers does.
