Privacy Network

Your agents don't need an audience.

The Problem

Standard x402 payments leave a trail — merchants see who paid, and the chain records the transfer. For agents making frequent micropayments across many services, this creates a detailed activity profile.

Architecture Overview

Primer's privacy architecture breaks the link between payer and payment through onion-routed requests and pooled settlement.

How It Works

Agent-Led Privacy

The agent chooses whether to use privacy routing. The merchant receives a standard x402 payment — no special integration required.

Solver Mesh

3-hop onion routing through $PR-staked relays. The entry node knows WHO (the agent), the exit node knows WHAT (the merchant and request), but neither knows both. Sentinel nodes monitor for misbehaviour.

Federated Composers

Multiple independent operators correlate Entry/Exit signals via session token, validate balance against the Dark Pool, and construct signed payment authorizations.

Decoy Flow

Staked operators generate cover traffic through the mesh, inflating the anonymity set even at low real volume.

Settlement

The Facilitator submits Pool→Merchant settlement to Base. On-chain shows Pool→Merchant, never Agent→Merchant.
