Clean in, private out
Where money comes from is a fair question. What you do with it afterwards is yours.
Zerohook follows one principle: where money comes from is a fair question, what you do with it afterwards is yours.

Screened once, at the door
Deposits are screened once through Privacy Pools' Association Set Provider (ASP). That check happens at entry. From then on, every trade, position and order stays private. See Screening & ragequit.
Private after
Once inside, trades run from stealth wallets, output returns to the shielded balance, and orders fire from fresh wallets.
Exits you control
- Ragequit. Every user keeps a public exit that needs no one's permission.
- Selective disclosure. Only you can generate an export of your activity, for taxes or audits. See Selective disclosure.
Execution stays public
Privacy covers who traded. It does not cover how well the trade was executed. Each trade gets a public Proof of Execution page, and the Shielded share tracker shows how much Zerohook volume ran privately.
