About Lethe

A self-custody wallet that hides the recipient of on-chain payments using one-time and stealth addresses.

Honest summary: Lethe is a metadata privacy wallet. It breaks the on-chain link between a sender and your main wallet. It does not hide the amount, timing, or the fact that a transfer occurred. It is not a mixer. It is not a ZK privacy pool (yet).

How it works

You share a meta-address

One string — st:eth:02b850d4… — that anyone can use to generate a fresh, unique payment address for you. Each sender gets a different address. You never share your real wallet.

Sender computes a stealth address

Their wallet combines your meta-address with a random secret. The result is a new address that only your wallet can spend from. It has no on-chain link to you.

Funds arrive unlinked

The stealth address receives the payment. On Etherscan, it looks like a random address — no connection to your main wallet, no reusable identifier.

You claim on your terms

When you're ready, you click Claim. Lethe derives the ephemeral private key on-demand from your wallet signature, signs a transfer, and sweeps the funds to your main address.

What's private

Property	Status
Sender → your main wallet (direct link)	Broken
Reuse of a payment address	Prevented
Your browser's IP from the RPC provider	Hidden (server-side Tor)
Your server logs	Not written
Private keys at rest	Never stored
Amount of the payment	Public
Timing of the payment	Public
That a payment happened	Public
Stealth-address → main-wallet link	Visible at claim time
Full graph analysis (deposit → withdraw)	Not hidden — Railgun planned

What Lethe is not

Not a mixer. Funds don't get pooled with anyone else's.
Not anonymous. If you claim to a KYC'd exchange, that exchange knows it was you.
Not audited. The code is open source, but no formal audit has been done.
Not ZK-private. On-chain graph analysis can still correlate deposit and claim if amounts and timing align. True unlinkability requires a ZK pool like Railgun, which is planned.

Technology

ERC-5564 stealth addresses — the emerging standard for private payments
Viem for Ethereum interaction
Tor for RPC traffic — routed server-side so your browser's IP never touches the RPC provider
IPFS for censorship-resistant distribution — CID bafybeif5djpa…
Tor .onion mirror for network-level privacy
