What is this asset? $OPAQUE is the utility token for Opaque Privacy, a private payments protocol on Solana. Holding it reduces the fees you pay when you use the platform, raises your daily transaction caps on our Telegram payment bot, and unlocks stronger privacy modes on swaps and transfers. When and how did this asset start? We launched $OPAQUE on pump.fun on May 12, 2026, the same day Opaque Privacy went live on Solana mainnet. Contract: 88SXkyMXZRRzn2jG4wR3tPPu3TPSRa7P593GmXG4pump. Fair launch — no presale, no special team allocation, same pump.fun mechanics as everyone else. What's coming up for this asset? The next big release is a full Telegram Mini App so users can connect a wallet, deposit, swap, and pay directly inside Telegram without ever opening a browser. We're also rolling out stealth recipient addresses and batched ZK proof aggregation on the protocol side, and both of those will be tier-gated to $OPAQUE holders. Our agent SDK for AI and autonomous robots already shipped — github.com/OpaquePrivacy/OpaquePrivacy. What makes this asset stand out? A lot of utility tokens don't actually do anything you can feel. $OPAQUE actually cuts the fees you pay every time you use the app — around 15% off at Tier 1, 30% off at Tier 2, and up to 40% off at Tier 3 (thresholds are 0.1%, 0.5%, and 1% of total supply). It also raises daily payment caps on the Telegram bot from $100/day at no tier all the way up to unlimited at Tier 3. The discounts apply automatically at settlement, no coupon to enter. What can you do with this asset? Hold it for the tier benefits — lower fees, higher daily caps, access to longer mix windows and larger denomination sets on the privacy layer. You can also trade it on pump.fun, and once it graduates to a Raydium pool, anywhere Jupiter routes liquidity. Is this asset still active or relevant? Yes, very. We just shipped three back-to-back releases for the Telegram payment bot covering in-chat swaps, recurring subscriptions, scheduled payments, price alerts, group bill splits, airdrops, and inline-mode payments. The holder tier discount is live in production code paths. Who is this asset designed for? Three audiences. First, Solana users who want private payments without leaving the ecosystem they already use. Second, active users of the Opaque Privacy platform who want their day-to-day fees to drop. Third, developers building AI agent and autonomous machine payment infrastructure on top of our open-source Agent SDK. How is this asset secured? $OPAQUE is a standard SPL token on Solana, so it inherits Solana's base security model. The Opaque Privacy protocol around it uses Ed25519 signatures for payment authorization and ZK proofs for privacy at settlement. Our on-chain program runs on Solana mainnet at 4VBEvYSEFBr7B3b6ahgUdMnR9hPZLnZJy6rHVM8kcMsn and we use a custodial intermediate wallet pool for the privacy mixing layer. Has this asset faced any controversy or risks? No.
