The Accumulator's Dilemma

When you buy $10 worth of a token, the price doesn't move. When you try to buy 1% of the Supply of a low-cap gem, you move the market against yourself.

$LAMB is a high-conviction, low-float asset. If you buy aggressively on a public AMM:

1. Slippage: You pay a premium as you eat through the thin order book.
2. MEV Bots: They see your pending tx and sandwich you.
3. Copy Traders: They see a "Fresh Wallet" buying and bid it up.

You end up paying 20-30% more than you intended.

The Lambda Strategy: Dark Accumulation

Institutions use "Dark Pools" to trade without moving the market. On Monad, Lambda Shield offers a similar mechanic for patient accumulators.

How It Works

1. Swap: Buy $LAMB on a public DEX (like Uniswap V2).
2. Shield: Deposit your $LAMB into the Lambda Contract (creating a ZK Note), as described in Privacy Yield.
3. DCA (Dollar Cost Average): You now hold private governance power.
4. Privacy: Your main wallet shows a "Swap + Deposit," but your long-term holding is now darkened.

Why This Matters

Privacy isn't just about hiding; it's about Execution Quality. By removing the "Whale Signal," you get better prices and protect your strategy.
