# Cove: Private Payments on Solana

> Cove lets you send SOL, USDC, and USDT privately on Solana. Generate a single-use claim link and share it — no wallet address needed to receive.

Cove is a private payment layer built on Solana. Instead of exchanging wallet addresses, you deposit funds, receive an encrypted claim link, and send that link to anyone. The recipient clicks the link, connects their wallet, and claims instantly — no SOL needed to pay fees.

## How Cove compares to the old way

|                  | Traditional                            | Cove                              |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| Setup time       | Ask for address → wait → verify → send | Instantly generate link           |
| Recipient action | Must provide a public key upfront      | Just click and claim              |
| Friction         | High                                   | Zero                              |
| Privacy          | Sender/receiver linked on-chain        | Sender and receiver stay detached |

<Note>
  Cove runs on Solana mainnet. You need a funded Solana wallet with at least 0.02 SOL (or 1 USDC/USDT) to send a payment. Recipients need zero SOL to claim.
