Metis and SilentSwap announced a strategic partnership to advance "private digital commerce," with SilentSwap's privacy swap capabilities coming to the Metis ecosystem as the first step. SilentSwap is a non-custodial cross-chain execution layer for private swaps, and both teams say the initial integration marks the beginning of a broader collaboration on privacy.
- Shibtoshi, SilentSwap's founder, welcomed the deal, calling it "another great partnership" and saying the teams share a "vision for where privacy in crypto needs to go" — a post Metis reposted to its own account
- The announcement frames privacy as a way to give individuals and businesses more control over how they transact, positioning private commerce as a path to broader blockchain adoption
- Metis called private swaps the first step toward more accessible private digital commerce, adding that "swaps are just the beginning" as the teams explore further use cases across both ecosystems
