# Who we are

**What is Lethe?**

Lethe is a privacy protocol built on the Solana blockchain, designed to to enable anonymous transactions by obfuscating on-chain activity.

Lethe allows anyone to securely and privately transfer, shield, or unshield their Solana, enabling enhanced user security for those who are active on-chain. 

We've built our protocol on the backs of two amazing protocols, Arcium and LIght Protocol, and we leverage their ZK (Zero-Knowledge) tools to enable trustless on-chain privacy and security.
