The problem Assura Network solves

đź§© The Problem It Solves

Today, sending and receiving crypto privately—especially across chains—is still extremely difficult. Users face a fragmented, insecure, and non-private experience that prevents truly seamless payments. Assura solves this by collapsing multiple broken parts of the ecosystem into a single, private, user-friendly flow powered by ENS.

❌ Problem 1: No Privacy When Receiving Crypto

  • If you share a normal EVM address, your entire on-chain history becomes public.
  • Every future transaction becomes linkable.
  • Your net worth, activity, and wallet relationships can be tracked in seconds.

Assura solves this by giving every incoming payment a fresh stealth address that is impossible to link back to your ENS name.


❌ Problem 2: Cross-Chain Receiving Is a Mess

Today, receivers must:

  • Create addresses on each chain (Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, etc.)
  • Share different addresses with different senders
  • Manually bridge funds
  • Pay gas on each network
  • Keep track of where assets landed

Assura gives you one ENS subdomain (

you.assuranet.eth

) that works across all supported chains.
Funds arrive on the chain the sender chooses—and Assura handles the rest automatically.


❌ Problem 3: Bridging to Zcash Is Complicated and Manual

Zcash is private and powerful, but the process of receiving EVM assets and moving them into Zcash is:

  • slow
  • multi-step
  • error-prone
  • extremely technical

Users must:

  1. Receive tokens on an EVM chain
  2. Connect to a bridge
  3. Approve tokens
  4. Bridge
  5. Wait
  6. Manually claim
  7. Transfer funds again

Assura automates the entire flow.
Funds sent to your ENS name → appear as Zcash in your wallet with zero user steps.


❌ Problem 4: ENS Resolution Is Public & Linkable

Sharing an ENS name usually leaks identity because:

  • ENS resolves to a permanent 0x address
  • Anyone can observe who pays you and how much
  • Anyone can track your activity instantly

Assura uses a TEE-powered off-chain resolver that returns private smart-account addresses that change over time.

Your ENS name becomes a private receiving alias, not a traceable identity.


❌ Problem 5: Smart Accounts Are Hard for Users

Account abstraction is powerful but complex:

  • Users must deploy a smart account
  • Pay deployment gas
  • Configure modules
  • Manage permissions

Assura deploys and manages smart accounts automatically, using stealth addresses as owners and a secured AutoShield module for execution.
Users don’t even know they’re interacting with a smart account—everything feels like normal wallet usage.


❌ Problem 6: No Simple, Private Payment Request Experience

Today, if you want someone to pay you:

  • You share a static address
  • You leak privacy
  • You can’t control which chain they send on
  • You can’t automate fund flows
  • You can’t shield funds by default

Assura turns your ENS name into a universal, private, multi-chain payment endpoint.

Senders simply type:

bob.assuranet.eth

…and Assura handles privacy, smart account logic, and bridging invisibly.


âś… In Summary: What People Can Use Assura For

âś” Private multi-chain payments

Receive tokens privately on any EVM chain using just your ENS name.

âś” Private donations & public identities

Share an ENS subdomain publicly without leaking your wallet history.

âś” Automatic conversion to Zcash

Perfect for Zcash users who want EVM liquidity but Zcash privacy.

âś” Burner-proof receiving

Even if someone shares or leaks your ENS name, every deposit is still unlinkable.

âś” Universal payment endpoint

Stop sharing multiple chain-specific addresses—use one name for everything.

âś” Frictionless onboarding

Senders don’t need to know anything about Zcash or privacy.
They just send tokens to an ENS name, same as always.

Challenges we ran into

1. Stealth Address Detection Was Tricky

One of the biggest headaches was getting the wallet to reliably spot incoming payments created from stealth addresses.
Because every payment lands on a brand-new, one-time address, the wallet has to scan the chain and figure out, “Which of these are mine?”

At first, the scan key logic kept missing certain payments.
I solved it by tightening up the key-derivation checks and adding better logging so I could see exactly where it broke. Once I understood the pattern, fixing it was much easier.


2. Moving Funds Into Zcash Smoothly

Automatic conversion to shielded Zcash sounded simple… until I actually tried to automate it.
Timing issues, mempool delays, and fee estimation all caused weird edge cases where the funds didn’t convert or got stuck midway.

The fix was to add:

  • a retry system
  • proper error handling
  • a “wait until confirmed” step

After that, everything became way more reliable.


3. Balancing Privacy With Usability

Privacy tools can easily get complicated, and I didn’t want users dealing with technical steps or confusing settings.
It took a few attempts to simplify the flow so that privacy just happens in the background.

The breakthrough was focusing on one principle: one action from the user, everything else automated.
