Architectural Overview

The Verdant Privacy protocol operates on a modular five-layer stack. This separation of concerns ensures that the identity management, execution logic, and network obfuscation processes remain distinct, minimizing the attack surface for side-channel analysis.

Verdant is built natively for the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM). It leverages the high throughput and low latency of Solana to execute complex, multi-transaction privacy patterns that would be cost-prohibitive on other chains.

The Stack Hierarchy

The architecture flows from the user (top) to the network (bottom).

  • L01: Identity Layer

    • Handles key management, encryption, and the deterministic derivation of Persona shards.

  • L02: Intent Engine

    • Acts as the translation layer. It converts user goals (Intents) into executable instruction sets.

  • L03: Split Engine

    • The fragmentation logic. It calculates mathematical divisions of assets to defeat amount-based tracking.

  • L04: Routing Engine

    • Manages the graph traversal. It determines the specific path and sequence for shard interactions.

  • L05: Fog Layer

    • The obfuscation layer. It generates entropic noise and manages traffic timing to mask behavioral patterns.
