# What is Swish?

> Privacy, made simple

Send, Request, Claim. Privately.

## The consumer layer for privacy on Solana

Swish is a privacy-focused payments app built on Solana. It lets you send and receive USDC and SOL privately — without exposing your wallet address on-chain.

Behind the scenes, Swish aggregates across the leading privacy protocols on Solana — [Privacy Cash](https://privacycash.org), [MagicBlock](https://www.magicblock.xyz), and [Umbra](https://umbraprivacy.com) — and picks the best route for each transaction automatically. You don't need to pick a protocol or learn the mechanics. It just works.

## Why Swish?

On Solana, every transaction is fully public. When you send someone money, both wallet addresses and the amount are visible to anyone. Swish changes that.

* **Your wallet, not ours** — Swish is non-custodial. Your funds stay in your own wallet and you sign every transaction yourself.
* **Multi-protocol routing** — Swish routes every send through the best privacy protocol for that transaction, automatically.
* **No address sharing needed** — Send money via X handles or claimable links instead of asking for wallet addresses.
* **Built on Solana** — Fast, low-cost transactions.
* **USDC and SOL** — Send stable, dollar-pegged USDC or native SOL, privately.

## How it works

1. **Sign in** with your Solana wallet (or Seeker's built-in wallet) or X (Twitter) account
2. **Choose an action** — tap Send or Request on the home screen
3. **Enter the amount and details** — recipient, X handle, or generate a claim link
4. **Done** — Swish picks the right privacy protocol and routes the transaction
