What is Exosphere?
Exosphere is not a new stablecoin.
It is a confidentiality layer that issuers can add to their existing or future stablecoins via a plug‑and‑play wrapper and supporting infrastructure.
Key properties
- Drop‑in: 1:1 at par, wrapper vault, base token contract remains unchanged.
- Encrypted when enabled: fhERC‑20 keeps balances and transfer amounts encrypted on‑chain; the chain sees ciphertext when Confidential Mode is used.
- Compliant by design: allowlists, policy hooks, and delegated view‑keys map to your existing controls.
- Chain‑agnostic: any EVM chain or L2 where you issue.
What Exosphere is not
- Not a custody solution.
- Not a mixer; visibility is policy‑driven and auditable.
- Not a new monetary policy; economics follow the base token.
When to use Confidential Mode
- Enterprise payroll & treasury: Pay employees and move corporate cash without exposing compensation levels or runway.
- Supplier/procurement payments: Settle invoices while keeping pricing, discounts, and volumes confidential.
- OTC block trade settlement: Bilateral stablecoin settlements where notional size remains private yet auditable.
- Fund administration (LP flows): Capital calls, distributions, and carry/performance fees with amount privacy for investors.
- Card/wallet/neobank payouts: Disbursements to users or merchants with confidential per‑recipient amounts.
- DAO contributor payments & grants: Compensate teams and grantees without telegraphing budgets to the market.
- Protocol treasury & liquidity operations: Rebalance treasuries or provision liquidity without revealing move sizes.
- RWA income distributions: Private coupon/dividend distributions on tokenized assets with selective auditability.
