Privacy When You Want It, In One Click

Category: getting-started · Updated: August 20, 2026

OmniCoin is open by default. Anyone can see the chain. When you want privacy, you get it with one click. That is "privacy on demand" — your choice, every time.

Most of your activity is public, like on most blockchains. But there are times you may not want the whole world reading your balance or your buys. OmniBazaar gives you a switch for that, and it costs nothing.

One click shields your money

With one click, your OmniCoin changes into a shielded form called pXOM. The amount stays exactly the same. The movement of it becomes private. When you want the regular form again, one click changes it back.

The switch is always one-to-one. Shield 1,000 XOM and you get exactly 1,000 pXOM. No fee, no cut. It is free in both directions.

Think of it like closing the curtains. The room is the same room. You are the same person. You simply decide whether the street can see in — and it is always your call.

Why this matters

Privacy is a normal, everyday need. You may not want coworkers to see your savings. You may not want strangers to know what you just bought. Shielding lets you keep those details to yourself, while the rest of your activity stays open.

Here's a real example. You hold 500 XOM. You shield it. You still have 500 — now private. Later you unshield it. You have 500 XOM again. At no point does anyone take a cut.

The honest part

Shielding protects the movement of your money, not your behavior. If you post a listing with your name on it, shielding does not hide that. Privacy on demand is a tool you choose to use, when it helps you.
