The Veil Project was conceived in 2018 by James Burden (known as 4x13), who previously founded privacy-focused cryptocurrency projects such as PIVX. Veil was created to explore a design centered on private digital transactions, with privacy treated as a core property of the network rather than an optional feature.
With early seed funding, Veil assembled an initial team spanning blockchain development, cryptography, mathematics, user experience, and operations. The Veil mainnet launched in January 2019.
Veil was designed with protocol level mechanisms intended to support long term network maintenance and development, while remaining open to external funding, community contributions, and partnerships that help strengthen the ecosystem. Today Veil continues as an open-source community driven project built on these original principles.
- Founded by James Burden in 2018.

The Veil roadmap
Current milestones focused on infrastructure, liquidity, and ongoing maintenance.
Our ambitions are not just to be incrementally better, but eclipse the current landscape of competitors, and deliver the privacy currency users will want to own and use in the future.
