TL;DR

When swapping USDT for PIPPIN ($PIPPIN), you have two choices on Baltex: Standard and Private.

• Standard Swap: Broadcasts to the public network. Faster and slightly cheaper, but visible to "sandwich bots" and trackers.
• Private Swap: Routes through a secure, private RPC (Remote Procedure Call). It hides your trade from the public mempool until it is confirmed, protecting you from bad execution prices (MEV) and adding a layer of on-chain privacy.

The Invisible War: Why "Standard" Isn't Always Enough

In a Standard Swap, your transaction is broadcast to the "Mempool"—a public waiting room for pending transactions. While this works fine for stablecoins, it is dangerous for volatile meme coins like PIPPIN. Why? Because predatory bots (MEV bots) are watching. If they see you buying a large amount of PIPPIN, they can bribe miners to buy it before you and sell it to you at a higher price.

This is called a Sandwich Attack, and it costs crypto traders over $500 million a year.

How "Private Swap" Works (The "Stealth Mode")

When you toggle "Private Swap" on Baltex, we change how your transaction travels.

1. MEV Protection (Anti-Sandwich)

Instead of shouting your trade to the public network, we route it through a Private RPC (like Flashbots or specialized relayers).

• The Result: Your transaction is invisible to bots. It goes directly from Baltex to the validator.
• The Benefit: You get the real price of PIPPIN, not a price inflated by a bot front-running you.

2. Wallet Privacy (The "Link Breaker")

In a Standard Swap, anyone on Solscan can see: Wallet A sent USDT -> Wallet A received PIPPIN. In a Private Swap, Baltex utilizes a Relayer system.

• You Send: USDT to the Baltex Relayer Contract.
• We Send: PIPPIN to your destination wallet from a Baltex Hot Wallet.
• The Result: The direct on-chain link is obfuscated. A casual observer sees you interacting with Baltex, not buying a specific meme coin.

Decision Matrix: When Should You Use Which?

Not every trade needs to be a secret mission. Use this guide to decide:

| Scenario | Recommended Mode | Why? | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Small Buy (<$500) | Standard | The "MEV" risk is low. Bots won't waste gas fees to attack a small trade. Standard is faster. | | Large Buy (>$1,000) | Private | Essential. Large orders move the price, making you a prime target for sandwich attacks. Private Mode saves you money on slippage. | | Privacy Focused | Private | If you don't want your main wallet history directly linked to a meme coin purchase, Private Mode breaks the visual link. | | High Volatility | Private | When PIPPIN is pumping (+50% in an hour), the mempool is chaotic. Private Mode bypasses the traffic jam. |

Is "Private" Totally Anonymous?

No. It is more private, but it is not "Monero-level" secrecy.

• What it hides: It hides your trade from bots (Pre-confirmation) and breaks the simple sender/receiver link (Post-confirmation).
• What it doesn't hide: You are still interacting with the blockchain. A sophisticated forensic analysis could eventually trace the flow.
• For maximum privacy: Always use a fresh wallet address for the "Destination" field in the Baltex widget.
