Solana Privacy App SHDW Crashes: User Funds Locked, Customer Service Unreachable

The SHDW application in the Solana ecosystem has attracted attention for its focus on private transactions, but users have found that the withdrawal function is unusable, leading many to regret their deposits. Although the project appears to have potential, there are issues with its actual functionality, and the security and privacy protection levels are difficult to verify. Users are advised to exercise caution when investing.

【ChainNews】Another issue has arisen in the Solana ecosystem. Recently, this app called SHDW has gained popularity, highlighting privacy transactions as its selling point, claiming to achieve front-running prevention through the Jupiter aggregator. Sounds good, right? But the reality—users deposited money and immediately started regretting it.

The problem is straightforward: the withdrawal button is completely unusable. The “Unblock” feature is essentially a placeholder, initial deposits are lost, and customer service is unreachable. Many people are complaining on social media, making the scene a bit awkward.

SHDW was launched during the Solana Privacy Hackathon and appears to be a serious project—planning features like X402 standard transactions, prediction markets, data filtering, and more. But now? It has only launched Swap and wallet browser extensions, and both are problematic. The originally scheduled token issuance at UTC 20:00 is now in doubt.

Honestly, the security and privacy protection levels of this app cannot be verified at all, and the risks are quite high. Those interested in exploring innovative applications in the Solana ecosystem should observe for a while before moving their funds.

Another financial scam. Deposit money and then run away—how familiar is this trick?

Another one? The withdrawal button is also broken? SHDW this time is really incredible, completely lost everything and can't contact customer service. Isn't this a standard rug pull?

Another terrible show in the Solana ecosystem... SHDW has really trapped the guys this time, with the withdrawal button being useless, and customer service is also a master of hiding. Can't they come up with some new tricks for this kind of stunt?

Here we go again. Every time there's a new development in the Solana ecosystem, they come up with something new. This time, they just lock up the funds? Truly impressive.
