Silhouette Raises $3 Million For First Shield Exchange On Hyperliquid
Zug, Switzerland, June 10th, 2025, Chainwire Silhouette is ushering in a DeFi Renaissance, supported by RockawayX, Hivemind Amber Group. NGC, No Limit Holding, and Protagonist. Silhouette, the shield exchange on Hyperliquid that protects personal trade information, is building a new arena of opportunities for DeFi traders, where sophisticated strategies remain protected without compromise, following its $3 million pre-seed fundraising round. The round was led by RockawayX and included Hivemind Amber Group. NGC, No Limit Holding, and Protagonist. As a shield exchange, Silhouette is addressing DeFi's privacy issue without undermining the core value of decentralisation. It creates a protected order flow in a transparent market, creating capital that can move freely and with confidence. Traders no longer have to worry about their strategies being exposed from the moment they post their intentions on-chain, risking front-running and MEV losses. 'We're in the middle of a DeFi Renaissance but the current DeFi set up is imperfect without privacy. While traders are able to execute incredible trades at speed these strategies are exposed from start to finish. Where privacy has been introduced, it's been over optimised at the expense of user experience. Silhouette is striking that balance and bringing in a new kind of exchange, a shield exchange, that brings the liquidity and decentralization of DEX's while shielding traders so they can grow and execute sophisticated strategies,'said Chandler De Kock, Co-Founder and CEO of Silhouette. Unlike previous privacy-focused platforms, Silhouette is bringing a new emphasis on liquidity and accessibility. Protection for traders is key. With shielded trades, users' strategies can last longer without giving up the overall permissionless and decentralised foundations of onchain markets. Silhouette is not running centralized servers to protect trades, rather the team is building with decentralized TEE host providers. Hyperliquid's ecosystem offers the perfect environment to introduce shielded trading. This active trading community will be able to use the liquidity they have onchain and see better, longer lasting results of their trading game plans. 'We're excited to back Silhouette as it aims to build the leading protected pool solution in crypto. We believe the timing is right—Silhouette won't have to build liquidity and network effects from scratch. Rather, it's launching in the Hyperliquid ecosystem, which is fast-becoming a dominant trading venue for spot and derivatives, and thus fertile ground for dark pool infrastructure, as users seek to protect highly profitable on-chain strategies. The founding team's deep relationships in that ecosystem give them a unique edge to execute fast,' said Samantha Bohbot, Partner & CGO. This first round of funding provides the runway to bring the minimal viable product (MVP) to life. The team has started building this MVP with a testing phase expected following its deployment.

New Self-Help Book SILHOUETTE Encourages Conversation on Death and Loss
Registered nurse offers comfort and creative perspective in new book from Palmetto Publishing Silhouette Charleston, SC, June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Registered nurse C. M. Meyers has published a new book on the topic of death and loss to encourage others to contemplate mortality from an art and science perspective. Having witnessed the intricacies of death, both professionally and personally, over the course of her decades-long life and career, Meyers came to view death as something akin to a silhouette. This creative perspective would ultimately lead her to take a deep dive into the topic in an online community on her Facebook page, Collette's Colloquy, and now, in her book debut, 'Silhouette.' Drawing from her knowledge of physiology, psychology, and sociology as well as through interviews and experiences, Collette discusses death and dying in a way that illuminates the shadows while posing thought-provoking questions. 'Death both haunts and intrigues us,' Meyers stated. 'It's final yet enduring, congruently singular while multifaceted.' Addressing the physical, cultural, psychological and spiritual aspects of death, from the vantage point of both the dying and the bereaved, 'Silhouette' demystifies death and grief, urging readers to look beyond absolutes. Whether experiencing loss or facing death, readers are invited to reconsider the perceived finality of death and reframe their outlook on dying and loss. 'We need to have these hard conversations in our culture to allow for greater consideration and even acceptance on the subject of death,' Meyers stated. 'Silhouette' is available for purchase on and About the Author: C. M. Meyers, BSN, RN, PHN is a registered nurse with over 30 years of experience. Through her work and personal life, Meyers has faced death in many forms, losing family, friends and pets. She uses these experiences as a springboard to address the topic of death, aiming to provide comfort and insight and encourage open conversation. Meyers's ultimate hope is that her words will resonate with all readers, whether they are grappling with loss or contemplating their own mortality. Media Contact: C. M.
