Use cases
Who benefits, who does not, and why. Use this page before deciding to integrate.
Built for
| Persona | Pain | What Shain does about it |
|---|---|---|
| Pump.fun whale | Every entry is copy-traded within a slot. | Session window hides the correlation between your fresh buy and follow-ons for 24 hours. |
| Market maker | Inventory levels visible on-chain leak strategy to counterparties. | Gate inventory moves behind gated_action to de-couple them from public ledger order. |
| Perp trader | Liquidation thresholds and leverage visible from account state. | Position adjustments routed during the session window are not pre-observable by MEV operators. |
| Dapp builder | Users demand a private mode but rolling custody is a liability. | Wire gated_action as a gate on your private route — Shain handles the holder check and the session accounting. |
Not built for
| Persona | Why Shain is the wrong tool |
|---|---|
| Airdrop farmer | Farmers want the wallet to look public and busy. Shain reduces visibility; that's the opposite of what farming needs. |
| Anonymity activist | Sessions expire. Your wallet address is never hidden. Shain is a correlation break, not an anonymity primitive. |
| Sanctioned address | Shain does not launder funds. The wallet address is visible before, during and after a session. |
| On-chain arbitrageur (public) | Most arb bots rely on broadcasting fast, not hiding. The session fee is a net cost with no return. |
Five-second decision test
- Will your wallet make at least one trade of material size during a 24-hour window? If no, Shain is overkill.
- Are you currently being copy-traded or sandwiched? If yes, Shain directly addresses that.
- Is your trade > the session fee by an order of magnitude? If no, the fee eats the benefit.
- Can you live with visibility returning after 24 hours? If no, use a different tool.
