About

What it answers, and for whom.

Railgun is a privacy system that runs as smart contracts on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon and BNB Chain. Users shield tokens into its contracts, transact privately inside them and unshield back to an ordinary address. The edges of that flow are public, so this dashboard measures value shielded, value unshielded and the balance held shielded, chain by chain and month by month.

What happens inside the pool stays private by design: private transactions carry encrypted amounts and recipients, so only their number is counted. Shield and unshield amounts, token balances and the protocol's fees are read from events and balances at pinned blocks, and every figure links to the reads behind it.

Method

How it will be measured.

Every figure will be read at a block, kept with its source and its exact read, and open a receipt anyone can re-check.

How receipts work →
  1. Value shielded and unshielded comes from the Railgun smart wallet's Shield and Unshield events per token on each chain, valued at oracle prices, or stablecoin pool prices, on the day of the event.
  2. The shielded balance is ERC-20 balanceOf of the Railgun contract for each token at the first block after 00:00 UTC, valued the same way: it is the total held, not any user's balance.
  3. Private transactions are counted from Transact events; their amounts, tokens and recipients are encrypted, so no value is attached to them.
  4. Fees are the shield and unshield fee transfers to the Railgun treasury, read from the same events.

Questions

Questions people ask.

What is Railgun?

A privacy protocol built as smart contracts on existing chains. Tokens shielded into Railgun can be sent, swapped or used in DeFi without revealing balances or counterparties on-chain, then unshielded to a public address.

How is Railgun volume measured?

From its public edges: the value shielded into its contracts and the value unshielded out, read from Shield and Unshield events. Transactions inside the shielded pool are encrypted, so they are counted but not valued.

What is Railgun TVL?

The value of all tokens held by Railgun's contracts, the shielded balance. It is read from the contracts' token balances at a pinned block and says nothing about who owns which part.

What is Kohaku and how does it relate to Railgun?

Kohaku is an Ethereum Foundation initiative that gives wallets a toolkit for privacy features, and Railgun is one of the protocols that toolkit integrates. Shielding through a Kohaku-based wallet appears here as ordinary Railgun Shield events.

Does Railgun charge fees?

Yes. Shielding and unshielding each pay a small protocol fee that goes to the Railgun DAO treasury, and private transactions sent through a relayer also pay that relayer for gas. The dashboard counts the protocol fees from the contracts.

Shield
Depositing tokens from a public address into Railgun's contracts, where they become private balances.
Unshield
Withdrawing tokens from Railgun's shielded pool to a public address.
Shielded balance
The total value held in Railgun's contracts on a chain, read from their token balances.
