Vanish, the privacy-focused trading protocol on Solana, just dropped details on its "Silent Rewards" system—a clever way to put platform fees back into the pockets of users who help secure private trades.

In simple terms, Vanish lets traders execute swaps privately (no MEV bots sniping your orders), and to make that privacy layer sustainable, it collects modest fees. Instead of keeping all that revenue, Vanish shares it generously with the community.

Here's how the reward split works, as shown in their diagram:

• 2.5% of total platform trading fees goes to users who "shield" their SOL in a Vanish wallet. Shielding essentially locks your SOL into the private execution layer, helping power anonymous transactions while you earn daily rewards automatically.
• 5% of trading fees for each specific token pair is distributed to holders of those tokens (think meme coin communities benefiting when their token gets traded privately).

It's a win-win: SOL holders get passive yield just for holding shielded SOL, token holders earn when people trade their coin on Vanish, and the platform incentivizes liquidity in its privacy network.

The project emphasizes that these rewards are the direct benefit of "staying protected"—using Vanish keeps your trades hidden from sandwich attacks and front-running, while quietly stacking extra returns.

With backing from heavyweights like Colosseum, Solana Ventures, and Pivot Global, Vanish is positioning itself as a go-to for privacy-conscious traders on Solana, especially in the fast-moving meme coin scene where protection matters most.

If you're holding SOL or popular Solana tokens, keeping an eye on Vanish could literally pay off. The team invites the community to "coil in silence" and join the discussion on their Discord.

As privacy tools gain traction amid rising MEV concerns, features like Silent Rewards show how protocols can align incentives to build stronger, fairer ecosystems.
