SHIELDED
NAKAS

Every ordinal today is fully public. Anyone can look up a wallet and see every piece it holds, what it paid, and where each piece went next.

Shielded Nakas keeps the art public and makes ownership private. Each Naka is inscribed on Bitcoin and viewable in any ord explorer. Who holds it is an encrypted record only the owner can read, and every move is checked with a zero-knowledge proof.

It's built on Bitcoin and the ordinals protocol. There's no sidechain, no bridge and no new token. The first private transfers already happened on Bitcoin mainnet, in block 968,660.

Collectors get tracked. A known wallet holding a rare piece becomes a target for phishing and social engineering. Traders get front-run because their holdings are visible.

Shielded ownership hides the who without hiding the market. Floor prices, sales and supply stay visible, so the collection trades like any other.

Every shielded collection starts with one parent inscription. It holds the collection's rules, and an inscription can never be edited, so they're fixed forever:

Every tracker reads these rules straight from Bitcoin. Nobody can change the supply, the prices or the payout addresses after launch, including us.

In the ordinals protocol a parent inscription can have children: inscriptions tagged as belonging to it. That's how a collection proves which pieces are really its own.

Nakas are small pixel-art files. Instead of inscribing all 3,333 up front, the parent carries one fingerprint of every file. When a Naka is minted, its art is inscribed on Bitcoin as a child of the parent shortly after, in batches. Because the fingerprint was fixed at launch, anyone can check that each piece is exactly the file that was committed. Nothing can be swapped.

Your Nakas live in a vault on Ord Dropz. You open it by signing one message with your normal wallet (UniSat or Xverse). That creates your vault keys inside your browser. They never leave it, and the same wallet always opens the same vault.

The vault reads the collection's data from Bitcoin and decrypts only what's yours. Our server never learns which pieces you hold.

Orange is visible on Bitcoin. Purple is private.

Private moves don't go out one by one. They're collected and published together in one transaction, in random order, at a random moment. Everyone who acted in that window looks the same.

Relay credits

Every mint includes 3 relay credits. A credit pays the network fee for one private move, listing or cancel, so moving a piece needs no wallet popup. Credits stay with the piece. You can add more at any time, or pay a move's fee from your own wallet.

• Listings are public: the piece and its price. The seller stays anonymous.
• Selling: the payment goes to a fresh private address only your vault controls, so the sale isn't tied to your main wallet.
• Buying: one transaction. The seller is paid and the piece lands in your vault at the same time. Nobody can intercept it.
• Cancelling: one click. Even without the site, a seller can take an unsold piece back on their own after about a week.
• No royalties. A sale pays the seller and a platform fee.

For Discord roles and whitelists you can prove "I hold a Naka" without revealing which one or which wallet. The proof is made in your browser and nothing goes on-chain.

• The wallet that mints or buys is public, as with every ordinal. Privacy starts after that.
• Privacy grows with use: the more people move pieces, the bigger the crowd.
• Your Nakas live in your vault on Ord Dropz, not in your wallet's ordinals tab.
• Bitcoin payments stay fully public. Only ownership of the art is shielded.
• Getting a regular, wallet-held version of a piece is on the roadmap.
