xCELLAR is a decentralized privacy protocol designed to facilitate untraceable and anonymous transactions. The project operates primarily on the Ethereum network with plans for multi-chain expansion, utilizing its proprietary "Fawkes Formula" technology, which is based on zero-knowledge proofs, to secure user data and transaction details. [1]
xCELLAR positions itself as a solution for on-chain privacy, enabling users to execute transactions without revealing their origins, destinations, or amounts. The protocol's architecture is built around the "Fawkes Formula," a proprietary system that integrates zero-knowledge proofs and other privacy-enhancing technologies to shield transactions from public blockchain analysis. The project emphasizes a commitment to complete decentralization and community ownership, which it aims to achieve through several key structural decisions. These include the renunciation of its smart contract, which makes the code immutable and removes control from the original developers, and the permanent locking or burning of the liquidity pool to vest control within the community of token holders. [1]
The project's identity is closely tied to themes of freedom and anti-surveillance, with slogans such as "Freedom powered by the Fawkes Formula" and "Revolution is Decentralized." This ethos is reflected in its operational model, which features an anonymous development team, aligning with the privacy-centric nature of the protocol itself. The native utility token of the ecosystem, XCL, is designed to be integral to the protocol's function, serving roles in network security, user rewards, and governance. The economic model for the token is deflationary, incorporating a buyback and burn mechanism funded by platform fees. The project maintains a public presence through its official X (formerly Twitter) and Telegram channels, which serve as primary points of communication. [2] [3] [4]
The technological foundation of xCELLAR is its proprietary Fawkes Formula, a multi-faceted security protocol that underpins the platform's privacy features. This system is designed to operate across multiple blockchains, with its initial implementation on Ethereum. [1]
The Fawkes Formula is described as the core of the xCELLAR ecosystem, providing the framework for its untraceable transaction capabilities. It integrates several components to ensure user anonymity and data protection.
While launched on Ethereum, the xCELLAR protocol is designed for multi-chain functionality. The project has stated plans to implement the Fawkes Formula across several other major blockchains to provide a cross-chain privacy solution. The planned networks for expansion include:
This multi-chain approach aims to extend the protocol's privacy features to a wider range of decentralized applications and user bases. [2]
The project's commitment to decentralization is technically enforced through its smart contract architecture. The XCL token contract, deployed on the Ethereum network, has been renounced. Renouncing a smart contract is an irreversible action that transfers ownership of the contract to a "burn" address, making it impossible for the original creators or any single entity to modify its code, pause its functions, or mint new tokens.
Furthermore, the project has stated that the liquidity provided for the XCL token on decentralized exchanges like Uniswap will be permanently locked or burned. This action prevents the developers from removing the initial liquidity, a common concern in decentralized finance known as a "rug pull," and effectively transfers ownership of the liquidity pool to the community of token holders. The smart contract is also coded with a 0% tax on all buy and sell transactions. [1]
The native token of the xCELLAR ecosystem is XCL. It serves as a utility and governance token, with an economic model designed to be deflationary over time. [2]

According to the project's documentation, 100% of the total XCL supply is allocated to the Fawkes Formula protocol itself. This allocation is intended to support network security, provide liquidity on decentralized exchanges, and fund community rewards. This distribution strategy was designed to achieve what the project calls "100% community ownership from launch," by ensuring that no portion of the supply was pre-allocated to the team, advisors, or private investors. Any tokens that were not sold during the initial presale event were designated to be burned prior to the public launch on Uniswap. [1]
The XCL token is integrated into the xCELLAR ecosystem with several key functions designed to drive demand and support the protocol's operations.
The public presence of the xCELLAR project began in September 2025 with the creation of its official X account, @xCellar_
. The project conducted a presale for its XCL token, which concluded on or around October 4, 2025. Following the presale, the official token launch on the Ethereum network via the Uniswap decentralized exchange was scheduled to occur within 24 to 48 hours, placing the launch date around October 5-6, 2025. The project's official website lists a copyright date of 2025. [3] [1]
The founders and development team behind xCELLAR have chosen to remain anonymous. This decision aligns with the project's core focus on privacy, decentralization, and security. By not disclosing their identities, the team reinforces the principle that the protocol should operate without reliance on a central authority or public figures. [2]
