How Venuo Works
The Mechanism
Venuo splits the money trail. What you pay and what you receive can never be linked.
A normal on-chain buy ties one wallet to one purchase forever. Venuo breaks that link into two independent halves with a proof in between.
Deposit → Proof → Claim
The payment enters a shielded pool. A trusted execution environment (TEE) verifies the deposit succeeded and issues a zero-knowledge proof tied to a unique reference — never to your identity. Later, you submit that proof to claim tokens to a fresh wallet. The chain verifies the proof is valid and unused; it cannot connect it back to your payment.
| Stage | What's public | What stays private |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit | A payment entered the pool | Which buyer, which future claim |
| Proof | A valid proof was issued | The identity behind it |
| Claim | Tokens sent to a wallet | The link to the original payment |
⚠
Privacy is statistical, not absolute. It scales with the size of the anonymity set. In a very thin pool with few participants, confidentiality is weaker — Venuo always shows the live set size so you can decide when to participate.
