### Through Monero

*Private order through Husher*

Your SOL is swapped into Monero, moved where the chain hides it, and swapped back to SOL at another exchange that pays your other wallet.

| | |
|---|---|
| Lands in | About 5 minutes |
| Costs | About 0.7% + 0.008 SOL |
| Raven’s fee | 0.2% |
| Least | 0.13 SOL |
| Parts | Up to five |
| Still sees both ends | Husher |

## How the money moves

**Solana · anyone can read it**
- Your wallet (7xKX…9fGh) → 2.5 SOL → Deposit address (used once) / no link on chain / Exchange wallet (pays out) → SOL → Your other wallet (Hq3P…2mVd)

**Monero · amounts and senders hidden**
- Into Monero (a one-time address) → hidden → Out of Monero (1 of 16 signers)
- Deposit address → SOL to XMR → Into Monero
- Out of Monero → XMR to SOL → Exchange wallet

On Solana the trail stops at the deposit. On Monero it cannot be followed.

## What Monero hides

| On Monero | What anyone can see |
|---|---|
| The amount | Nothing: amounts are hidden |
| Who sent it | One of 16 possible signers |
| Who got it | A one-time address, used once |

## Parts

You can split a Monero send into up to five parts. Each is paid by its own exchange after its own wait: right away, 5 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours or 1 day.

Parts landing at different times from different exchanges are much harder to add back up.

## Who sees what

| Who | Paying wallet | Other wallet | Can link them |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Anyone reading Solana | sees | sees | no |
| Anyone reading Monero | no | no | no |
| Husher | sees | sees | yes |

## Under the hood

- **The same checks**: Raven places, checks and pays a Monero order exactly as it does [Exchange pays](https://ravenwallet.pro/docs/exchange-pays), and checks each part’s share, exchange and wait too.
- **Ring signatures**: Every Monero payment is signed by a ring of 16 possible senders, and nobody can tell which one really signed.
- **Stealth addresses**: Each payment lands at a one-time address that only the receiver can link to its wallet.
- **Hidden amounts**: Amounts are sealed with commitments: the network checks they add up without ever seeing them.
