What is This?
Solana Privacy Scanner is a developer tool that analyzes Solana wallets, transactions, or programs using public on-chain data to identify privacy risks.
Key Features
- ✅ Scan Wallets, Transactions, Programs - Analyze any Solana address or signature
- ✅ Clear Risk Scores - Get LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH assessments
- ✅ Known Entity Detection - Identify CEX, bridge, and protocol interactions
- ✅ Actionable Guidance - Receive specific mitigation recommendations
- ✅ Transparent - All heuristics are documented and open source
Quick Example
# Install
npm install -g solana-privacy-scanner
# Scan a wallet
solana-privacy-scanner scan-wallet <YOUR_WALLET> --rpc <YOUR_RPC>Documentation Sections

Why Privacy Matters
Public blockchains like Solana are transparent by design. Every transaction is permanently recorded and publicly visible. This creates:
- Traceability - Fund flows can be tracked
- Clustering - Related addresses can be linked
- Profiling - Behavioral patterns can be analyzed
- Deanonymization - Real identities can be inferred
This tool helps you understand your exposure and take action to improve privacy.
Not Surveillance
This tool is for privacy awareness, not surveillance. It:
✅ Educates users about blockchain privacy
✅ Helps developers build privacy-aware applications
✅ Uses only publicly available data
✅ Is transparent about its methods and limitations
❌ Does not deanonymize users
❌ Does not track individuals
❌ Does not collect or store scan data
❌ Is not compliance or surveillance software
Open Source
The entire project is open source and transparent:
- Source code: Available on GitHub
- Heuristics: Fully documented
- Data: Known entity database is public
- Methods: No black boxes or hidden algorithms
