The price of GhostWareOS’ native token, GHOST, has soared nearly 60% in the past 24 hours as traders reacted to the project’s announcement of a major expansion of its suite of privacy-focused products on Solana.
GhostWareOS is a Solana-based privacy infrastructure project that aims to provide anonymous payments, stealth transfers, and privacy-preserving liquidity tools on a fully transparent blockchain.
Launch of GhostSwap puts GhostWare at the center of Solana’s privacy push
As of this writing, GHOST is trading at $0.003692, up 58.3% in the past 24 hours.

Momentum picked up as GhostWareOS confirmed it would be launching new products next week.
“GhostWareOS, powered by $GHOST, Solana’s privacy layer, is releasing a new product this week. We’re calling it GhostSwap,” the announcement reads.
The announcement immediately fueled speculation that GhostWare was growing beyond private payments into a broader multi-chain privacy stack.

GhostSwap is positioned as a cross-chain, privacy-first decentralized exchange and bridge. According to GhostWare, the product will allow users to exchange assets on external blockchains into Solana. It does not expose your wallet ID, transaction history, or asset path.
Unlike traditional bridges and DEXs that leave visible traces on the chain, GhostSwap is designed to break the link between deposits and withdrawals. Funds will be routed through a shielded liquidity pool and atomic swap mechanism.
GhostWare’s 2026 roadmap hints at a full-stack privacy economy with Solana
This announcement builds on GhostWare’s long-term vision outlined in its 2026 Privacy Roadmap published on January 21st.
“In 2025, we established GhostWare as Solana’s privacy layer and launched GhostPay, which enables anonymous on-chain payments,” the team said.
The roadmap expands its scope to what GhostWare calls a “complete privacy economy” powered by the GHOST token.
In addition to GhostSwap, the roadmap also includes GhostSend. GhostSend is a sender-initiated stealth transmission system that hides the sender’s identity even from the recipient.
This feature is intended for private peer-to-peer payments, donations, and activist funding where non-linkability is important.
GhostWare also outlined plans to integrate businesses and NGOs in early 2026. This includes private payroll, B2B payments, and stablecoin transfers, with on-chain payroll provider Zebec already listed as a live pilot partner.
A series of planned upgrades to Ghost Network are supporting the ecosystem. It acts as a privacy protection relay and encryption layer for your project.
These include multihop routing, metadata scrubbing, stealth address enforcement, and future integration of zero-knowledge proofs and multiparty computation to further reduce trust assumptions and improve decentralization.
The sharp movement in GHOST price reflects the growing belief that privacy infrastructure is becoming a strategic layer within Solana’s high-throughput ecosystem. This is because it is specifically focused on institutional, corporate, and humanitarian use cases.
Scalability, technology and regulatory risks dampen GHOST rally
However, it’s worth mentioning that while GhostWareOS touts GHOST as a privacy layer for Solana with GhostSwap, Stealth Transfer, and Enterprise Pilot, it overpromises an unproven technology.
Solana’s low net TPS, occasional outages, struggles with ZK validation, and regulatory risks for privacy tools raise questions about its scalability and longevity.

in particular:
- Solana’s actual TPS is around 700 to 1,400, which is far below the claimed 65,000.
- Past failures (seven in five years, but stable from late 2025 to 2026) still have a lot to say.
- ZK verification faces computational challenges and bugs.
- As rules tighten, privacy cryptography comes with regulatory risks.
Hype pumping therefore appears as a common crypto pattern. The 60% jump is likely more hype than sustainable practicality.
