How Private Payments Work on limited.live
Your wallet address and shipping address should never be linked on-chain. Here is how we make that possible with Railgun and anon.inc.
The Privacy Problem in Web3 Commerce
When you buy something with crypto, your wallet address is visible on-chain. If that wallet is linked to your identity through an exchange, an ENS name, or a previous transaction, anyone can see what you bought and where it shipped.
How We Solve It
Payments on limited.live are routed through Railgun and anon.inc using zero-knowledge proofs. Here's what happens:
1. You connect your wallet and pick your items.
2. At checkout, your payment is private and your wallet address is hidden before the transaction hits the network.
3. The smart contract receives the payment but can't link it back to your wallet.
4. Your shipping address is stored off-chain, encrypted, and never published.
What Are Zero-Knowledge Proofs?
A zero-knowledge proof lets you prove something is true without revealing the underlying data. In this case, you prove you paid without revealing which wallet the payment came from.
Why This Matters
Privacy isn't about having something to hide. It's about not having your purchase history, shipping address, and wallet balance visible to anyone with a block explorer.
