Zcash

Private Zcash. No public trail.

Swap and trade ZEC from a private account with no visible link to your wallet. Redacted keeps your Zcash activity on-chain, but not tied to you.

The problem

What a public ZEC address gives away

Zcash has shielded pools, but transparent addresses work just like Bitcoin’s, and much of the ZEC that moves between exchanges and across chains travels through them. Those transfers, with sender, receiver and amount, are as visible as any other public coin.

Private Mode

What you can do with ZEC privately

Swap ZEC

Swap to and from other native coins on THORChain from your private account, without wallet popups.

Hold ZEC in your Reserve

Let it rest among everyone else’s deposits, where your share has no address attached.

Move it when you need it

Shift ZEC between the Reserve and your Spending account with a proof made in your browser.

How it works

Three steps, one signature

  1. 1

    Connect and sign once

    Use MetaMask, Rabby, Keplr, Trust or the wallet you already have. One message derives your private account.

  2. 2

    Move ZEC into your Reserve

    Your ZEC joins a shared Reserve where everyone’s deposits sit together as encrypted notes.

  3. 3

    Act from Spending

    Swap and trade from a private account. Your browser makes a proof for each action and a node carries it on-chain.

FAQ

Private ZEC, answered

Is it real ZEC or a wrapped copy?+

Zcash enters through THORChain, which settles native assets on their home chains, so it is real ZEC from Zcash, not a bridged IOU.

Can people still see my ZEC balance?+

Your deposit from a public wallet is a visible event. After that, your ZEC sits among everyone else’s in the shared Reserve, and what you do from your private Spending account has no visible link to the wallet you came from.

Do I need a new wallet or a seed phrase for private ZEC?+

No. You connect the wallet you already have and sign one message. Your private account is derived from that signature, and an encrypted backup makes it independent of the wallet.

Is ZEC always available?+

ZEC trades through THORChain and Rujira. Pools and markets can be paused or changed by those networks, so check the app for what is open right now.
