The price of GhostWareOS’s native token GHOST surged nearly 60% in 24 hours following a product announcement tied to Solana-based privacy infrastructure.

Traders reacted after GhostWareOS confirmed the upcoming launch of a new privacy-focused cross-chain product called GhostSwap.

GhostWareOS positions itself as a privacy infrastructure layer on Solana, aiming to enable anonymous payments and shielded transfers.

The project seeks to introduce privacy tools on Solana, a blockchain known for high throughput but full transaction transparency.

Momentum in the token accelerated after the team confirmed the new product would go live within the coming week.

The Privacy Layer of Solana, GhostWareOS powered by $GHOST, will be releasing a new product this coming week. We call it GhostSwap.

The GhostWareOS team said.

The announcement triggered speculation that GhostWareOS is expanding beyond private payments into a broader cross-chain privacy stack.

GhostSwap is positioned as a privacy-first decentralised exchange and bridge designed to connect Solana with external blockchains.

According to the project, the product will allow cross-chain swaps without exposing wallet identities or transaction histories.

GhostWareOS claims GhostSwap will obscure asset paths by breaking the link between deposits and withdrawals.

The system is designed to route funds through shielded liquidity pools and atomic swap mechanisms.

Unlike traditional bridges, GhostSwap aims to limit on-chain traceability during cross-chain transactions.

The product launch builds on GhostWareOS’s longer-term vision outlined in its 2026 roadmap released on January 21.

In 2025, we established GhostWare as Solana’s privacy layer, launching GhostPay to enable anonymous on-chain payments.

The team said.

The roadmap outlines plans to create what GhostWareOS describes as a full privacy-focused economy on Solana.

Beyond GhostSwap, the roadmap includes GhostSend, a stealth transfer system that hides sender identities.

GhostSend is aimed at private peer-to-peer payments, donations, and sensitive funding use cases.

The project also plans enterprise and NGO integrations starting in early 2026.

Proposed use cases include private payroll systems, B2B payments, and stablecoin remittance services.

GhostWareOS cited on-chain payroll provider Zebec as an early pilot partner.

The ecosystem relies on the Ghost Network, which functions as the project’s privacy relay and encryption layer.

Planned upgrades include multi-hop routing, metadata scrubbing, and stealth address enforcement.

Future development may integrate zero-knowledge proofs and multi-party computation to reduce trust assumptions.

Supporters argue the rally reflects rising demand for privacy infrastructure within Solana’s ecosystem.

Interest is growing as institutional, enterprise, and humanitarian use cases gain attention.

Critics caution that the project’s technology remains largely unproven at scale.

Solana’s history of outages and technical limitations raises questions about long-term reliability.

Regulatory scrutiny around privacy-focused crypto tools also presents a potential risk.

Analysts note that similar rallies in the sector have often been driven by hype rather than sustained adoption.

The sharp price increase highlights renewed market appetite for privacy narratives despite unresolved technical and regulatory challenges.

At the time of reporting, Solana price was $126.74.
