# Mirage

Mirage is a privacy-focused web app for private stablecoin transfers on Ethereum. The frontend is a client-rendered single-page app, so this file gives language models a plain-text summary of the product, the web app, and the About page team information.

## Web App Status

The Mirage web app at `https://mirageprivacy.com` is a client-side Svelte application for sending private transfers. The main landing experience describes Mirage as:

- Privacy for stablecoin transfers on Ethereum.
- Fast execution, described in the UI as completing in under 90 seconds.
- Native operation on supported chains without bridging to a separate blockchain.
- Not a mixer or privacy pool.
- A system where users are only responsible for their own funds, with no commingled liquidity.

The app includes:

- A send flow where users connect a wallet, select a token, enter a recipient, review fees, and execute a private transfer.
- A public status page showing frontend, API, RPC, and enclave-attestation-related information.
- A transaction history/detail flow inside the app.
- Compliance or whitelist flows on some supported networks.
- Test-environment support such as a faucet route where enabled.

## About Page

The About page says Mirage is built by a team of mildly obsessive humans who wanted a better way to make privacy work on public blockchains. It also says the company is currently hiring founding engineers and researchers passionate about privacy and decentralized systems.
