Understanding Privacy on Solana: The YOKAI Approach Let's talk about what "privacy layer" actually means, and why YOKAI RPC is just the beginning of something bigger. A thread on privacy, MEV, and the future of Solana development 🧵 (1/8)

Privacy in DeFi ≠ Hiding transactions from the blockchain Privacy = Protecting users from exploitation Every transaction on Solana is public (by design ✅). But being visible to validators ≠ being visible to MEV bots. That's where YOKAI comes in. (2/8)

Right now on Solana: 1. You submit a swap for 10 SOL → USDC 2. MEV bot sees your transaction in mempool 3. Bot frontruns you (buys first) 4. Your trade executes at worse price 5. Bot sells, pockets the difference You just got sandwiched. This happens BILLIONS times per year. (3/8)

YOKAI RPC (live today) solves this: ✅ Private routing ✅ Direct validator submission ✅ No public broadcast ✅ Sub-100ms average execution ✅ Zero MEV exploitation Your transactions execute safely, privately, at fair prices. This is Layer 1 of Solana's privacy infrastructure. (4/8)

But here's the thing: YOKAI RPC protects transactions ✅ But developers still need to integrate it manually ⚠️ Most Solana dApps aren't using privacy protection because: → Integration takes time → Requires code changes → Learning curve exists 95% of Solana transactions remain unprotected. (5/8)

We're building the next evolution: YOKAI INTEGRATION FRAMEWORK A drop-in privacy layer that works with EXISTING Solana code. No rewrite needed. No new APIs to learn. Just instant MEV protection for any Solana app. This is Layer 2 of the privacy infrastructure. (6/8)

When YOKAI RPC + Integration Framework combine: 🎯 Every Solana developer gets privacy by default 🎯 No friction = mass adoption 🎯 Entire ecosystem protected 🎯 MEV exploitation becomes obsolete 🎯 Billions saved for users This isn't just infrastructure. This is a paradigm shift. (7/8)

Today: YOKAI RPC protects thousands of transactions Tomorrow: YOKAI Integration Framework protects the entire ecosystem The Privacy Layer isn't one product. It's an evolving infrastructure that makes privacy the DEFAULT, not an option. RPC: ✅ Complete Framework: 🚧 Building Ecosystem: 🔜 Coming Privacy for Solana isn't coming. It's already here. And it's about to scale. (8/8)
