# Overview

Welcome to **Pool** — your cross-chain DEX platform that lets you **send, swap, and bridge crypto seamlessly across multiple chains**, with an optional **anonymize mode** for complete privacy.

Unlike traditional DEX aggregators, PoolSwap goes one step further: we integrate with major liquidity providers like **Exolix, LetsExchange, Swapuz, ChangeNow**, and more — while also offering a **built-in anonymization feature powered by zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs on Solana**.

***

### Why Pool?

* **Cross-chain swaps made simple** — access multiple DEX routes in one place.
* **Optional privacy** — choose *Normal* or *Anonymize* mode depending on your needs.
* **Fast & efficient** — competitive fees, optimized routing, instant confirmations.
* **Advanced privacy tech** — anonymization is powered by **Succinct ZK proofs** and Solana’s high-performance shielded pools.
* **User-first design** — no complex setup, just connect your wallet (or use manual send) and start swapping.

***

### Swap Modes

When you use Pool, you can pick between two experiences:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Normal Swap" %}

* Works like a standard cross-chain aggregator.
* Choose tokens to send & receive → view quotes from partnered DEXes → pick the best route.
* Fast, transparent, and simple.
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Anonymize Swap (Private Mode)" %}

* For privacy-conscious users who want untraceable swaps.
* Powered by a **Solana-based mixer**: deposit → receive a private “Note” → withdraw to a fresh address.
* Withdrawals are verified with **ZK proofs** via Succinct, ensuring that on-chain transactions are unlinkable.
* A **relayer service** (with a 0.5% fee) finalizes the withdrawal, ensuring that your identity and transaction path remain hidden.
  {% endtab %}
  {% endtabs %}

***

### Key Features

* **Wallet or No-Wallet Options**
  * Connect via MetaMask, Phantom, TrustWallet, etc.
  * Or, generate a one-time address and send funds without connecting a wallet.
* **Note-Based Withdrawals (Anonymize Mode)**
  * Each deposit generates a unique “Note.”
  * Store it safely — it’s the key to withdrawing funds anonymously later.
* **Relayer Privacy Layer**
  * Relayers handle withdrawals on your behalf.
  * **They ensure zero traceability between deposit and withdrawal.**
* **Security & Compliance Mindset**
  * Designed for **privacy-first DeFi users**.
  * No personal data is stored, and there is no on-chain linkage between the sender and receiver.

### Our Mission

At Pool, we believe **privacy is a fundamental right in DeFi**. By combining the power of cross-chain swaps with **next-generation anonymization technology**, we aim to make decentralized finance **more private, more accessible, and more secure** for everyone.
