Stealth Funding

Stealth Funding breaks on-chain wallet clustering by routing treasury-to-wallet transfers through ChangeNow. Each sub-wallet gets funded from a completely unrelated on-chain source — invisible on Bubblemaps, Arkham, and other clustering tools.

The Problem

When you fund sub-wallets directly from your treasury, blockchain analytics tools trivially link them:

Treasury ──SOL──→ SubWallet-1
Treasury ──SOL──→ SubWallet-2
Treasury ──SOL──→ SubWallet-3

Bubblemaps and Arkham will show all wallets as a single cluster — defeating the purpose of multi-wallet strategies.

How Stealth Funding Works

With stealth enabled, each transfer is routed through a USDC intermediate swap and a ChangeNow exchange:

Treasury ──Jupiter──→ USDC (one batch swap for total amount)
  └─ USDC → ChangeNow deposit #1 (usdcsol→sol) → SOL → SubWallet-1
  └─ USDC → ChangeNow deposit #2 (usdcsol→sol) → SOL → SubWallet-2

Each wallet receives SOL from ChangeNow's hot wallet. No link to your treasury.

Flow Per Wallet

1. Jupiter Swap — one batch SOL→USDC swap on the treasury for the total amount needed
2. Split USDC — proportionally allocated to each destination
3. Create Exchange — ChangeNow generates a unique USDC deposit address per wallet
4. Send USDC Deposit — USDC transferred from treasury ATA to each deposit address
5. Exchange — ChangeNow converts USDC→SOL and sends to the sub-wallet (~2-10 min)

Setup

Hosted App & Telegram Bot

Stealth funding is pre-configured on the hosted service. Just toggle it on:

• Web App: Settings → Stealth Funding → ON
• Telegram Bot: /settings → Stealth Funding

No API keys needed — we handle that server-side.

Self-Hosted

1. Get a free API key at changenow.io/affiliate (instant, self-service)
2. Go to Settings in the dashboard
3. Enter your ChangeNow API Key
4. Toggle Stealth Funding to ON

Where Stealth Applies

Operation	Stealth Available
Fund sub-wallet from treasury	Yes
Bulk Fund sub-wallets	Yes
Bot Groups wallet funding	Yes
Volume Boost wallet funding	Yes (Telegram)
Sweep SOL back to treasury	No
Inter-wallet transfers	No
Buy/sell swaps	No

Stealth funding only applies to treasury → sub-wallet transfers. Sweeps, swaps, and inter-wallet moves are not affected (they don't need to be — the clustering link is already broken).

Trade-offs

	Direct Transfer	Stealth (ChangeNow)
Speed	~2 seconds	~2-10 minutes
Cost	~0.000005 SOL (tx fee)	~0.55% fee (Jupiter + ChangeNow)
Privacy	Fully traceable	Untraceable
Reliability	99.9%+	Depends on ChangeNow availability
Fallback	N/A	Auto-falls back to direct transfer on failure

Batch Funding

When funding multiple wallets (Bulk Fund, Bot Groups), stealth processes up to 5 wallets concurrently. The Jupiter SOL→USDC swap is done once for the total amount, then USDC is split across parallel ChangeNow exchanges — different deposit addresses, different timing.

Progress is shown in real-time:

• Web App: A progress panel shows per-wallet status (queued, exchanging, sending, finished)
• Telegram Bot: Progress messages update with completed/total counts and ETA

Failure Handling

If a stealth exchange fails (timeout, ChangeNow downtime, etc.):

1. The failed wallet is reported with the error
2. Auto-fallback: The system falls back to a direct SOL transfer for failed wallets
3. Successfully stealthed wallets remain untraceable

WARNING

Fallback to direct transfer means that specific wallet WILL be linked to your treasury on-chain. If full stealth is critical, monitor the progress and retry failed wallets manually.

Limits

ChangeNow has per-exchange min/max amounts. The estimate endpoint returns current limits. If your amount is outside the range, the exchange will be rejected and fall back to direct transfer.
