AmericanFortress

AmericanFortress is a privacy infrastructure company that develops a name-based transaction system for blockchain networks, binding human-readable identity names to one-time stealth addresses so that assets can be sent and received without exposing a user's wallet address.^[1]​^[2]

Overview

AmericanFortress markets its system under the slogan "Your money. Your . Nobody else's business," and frames its purpose around what it describes as the privacy risks of transacting on public blockchains.^[3] The company presents several figures to illustrate those risks: a "$33T" figure labelled "Your wallet address is your dox" (attributed on the site to Bloomberg and TRM); "88%" tied to the claim that salaries paid on-chain are publicly visible (labelled Q1 2025); "820M+" with the caption that visible holdings make holders a target online and off (labelled 2025); and "1.1M BTC" describing Satoshi-era Bitcoin with exposed public keys said to be vulnerable to advancing quantum computing.^[3]​

The company identifies three problems it aims to solve with current wallets: addresses are "vulnerable" because an exposed address can reveal transaction history, amounts, and balance activity; they are "hard to use" because long strings are easy to mistype and a wrong destination can make a transfer irreversible; and many existing privacy methods are "non-compliant" because pooling funds or obscuring trails can create compliance concerns.^[4] Its stated core mechanisms are decentralised KYC/AML compliance options, a post-quantum-secure hierarchical deterministic wallet architecture, and cross-chain compatibility.^[2]​

Products

FortressName

FortressName is a reusable, human-readable identity name that resolves to fresh addresses across supported integrations. The company's stated flow is that a user chooses "@yourname" once and then uses the same identity across supported networks; custom names are reserved through checkout.^[3]​^[4] A FortressName can be shared publicly — on social media, a website, or an invoice — and supported integrations can derive a unique stealth address for a given transaction without mixing, tumbling, or pooling funds.^[3] The company states that a supported recipient wallet will always show the sender's name, while on-chain observers see only the receiving address rather than a public name directory.^[3].^[4]​

SafeSend and Send-to-Name

SafeSend (SafeSend) is described as a "ZK-powered transaction privacy layer" — a reference to zero-knowledge proofs, a cryptographic technique for proving a statement true without revealing underlying data — that is designed to reduce public exposure "without mixing, tumbling, or pooling funds."^[3] The company repeatedly differentiates it from a mixer, tumbler, or pooled-funds service, and states it is "entirely non-custodial" with "no viewing keys, no back doors to your privacy."^[3] The product includes a one-click toggle labelled "Untracable Quantum Send."^[3]​

The underlying send-by-name feature is called Send-to-Name (Send-to-Name™) and follows a four-step flow summarized by the slogan "You type a name. We handle the rest." A user types an "@name" instead of a hex string or QR code; the sender's wallet generates a unique stealth address in the background that is computable only by sender and recipient; the transaction is sent on-chain to a one-time receiving address computed for that payment, with the recipient retaining control of the funds without placing their name on-chain; and a supported recipient wallet can then display the sender's name while on-chain observers see only the receiving address.^[4]​^[3]​

SDK and Integrations

The company offers its technology through a single software development kit (SDK) marketed as "One SDK. Multiple networks," designed to let developers integrate Send-to-Name functionality into applications and AI agents with stealth addresses across multiple chains.^[3]​^[1] As of June 2025 the company stated that Send-to-Name supported Ethereum, Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash, eCash, Litecoin, CSPR, and ERC-20 tokens, with more planned.^[1] Chain and feature availability depend on the participating wallet and integration.^[4]​

Tokenomics

AmericanFortress proposes a utility token, $AF, planned for name-registry and privacy-layer operations; the company describes the token as securing "all of crypto for humans and AI agents."^[3]​^[1] The company states that the token's utility, network availability, and launch timing remain subject to final technical and legal review.^[3]​

The proposed tokenomics would use a portion of eligible FortressName revenue and certain protocol fees for token buybacks. The company states that final percentages and burn mechanics will be published only after approval.^[3]​
