# How private moves work

> Move money so nothing on chain joins the wallet that pays and the wallet that gets it.

## The problem

On Solana every transfer is public. Anyone can see that wallet A paid wallet B, how much and when, and follow the money from there. A private move breaks that line.

## Three ways to break the line

### Exchange pays

*About 30 seconds*

An exchange pays the other wallet out of its own money.

| | |
|---|---|
| Lands in | About 30 seconds |
| Costs | About 0.35% + 0.001 SOL |
| Still sees both | Husher, the exchange |

### Through Monero

*About 5 minutes*

It passes through Monero, where amounts and senders are hidden.

| | |
|---|---|
| Lands in | About 5 minutes |
| Costs | About 0.7% + 0.008 SOL |
| Still sees both | Husher |

### Privacy Cash

*1 to 6 hours*

It waits in a shared pool with everyone else’s SOL.

| | |
|---|---|
| Lands in | Right away to a day |
| Costs | A small cut, read live |
| Still sees both | Nobody joins them |

## Who sees what

| Who | Paying wallet | Other wallet | Can link them |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Anyone reading the chain | sees | sees | no |
| Husher (first two routes) | sees | sees | yes |
| The exchange that pays | sees | sees | yes |
| Privacy Cash | sees | sees | no |

> **Note:** No route makes money invisible. Each one hides the link on chain; the service that carries it still sees its part, as the table says.

## Where you can use it

Turn on **Private** in [Send](https://ravenwallet.pro/docs/send), [Split](https://ravenwallet.pro/docs/split) or [Consolidate](https://ravenwallet.pro/docs/consolidate). Private moves are for SOL.

## What you can set

- [Who pays](https://ravenwallet.pro/docs/settings#who-pays): Husher’s best rate, an exchange you choose, or a random one.
- [When it lands](https://ravenwallet.pro/docs/settings#wait-before-it-lands): right away, or up to a day later.
- [Parts](https://ravenwallet.pro/docs/settings#split-it-into-parts): up to five, each paid by its own exchange at its own time.
- [Presets](https://ravenwallet.pro/docs/settings#presets): save your choices once, then it is one tap.

## Under the hood

- **Raven’s 0.2%**: Raven takes 0.2% of what goes privately, on top of the route’s own cost. Both are on the review before you send. See [Fees](https://ravenwallet.pro/docs/fees#private-routes).
- **Your IP stays yours**: Orders with Husher are placed by Raven’s server in its own name, so your IP address never reaches Husher.
- **Checked before paying**: Every order is checked in your browser before a single lamport moves. See [Checks before you sign](https://ravenwallet.pro/docs/checks#on-private-moves).
