How it works

One fork.
From Zcash to Solana.

No bridge, no wrapper, no trusted operator. We took Zcash's shielded prover, kept the zero-knowledge math intact, and pointed it at a verifier deployed on Solana. The proof is the same — the chain underneath it is fast, liquid, and already full of users.

01

Fork the shielded prover

We take Zcash's shielded transaction circuit — the zk-SNARK that proves a transfer is valid without exposing who, whom, or how much — and lift it cleanly off its old L1. The cryptography doesn't care what chain it runs on.

02

Verify the proof on Solana

The matching verifier is compiled into a Solana program. Every shielded transfer carries a proof that the runtime checks on-chain — so validity is enforced by the network, not by us. No admin key, no backdoor.

03

Settle $ZFORK natively

Valid shielded transfers mint and move $ZFORK on Solana in under a second. Real liquidity, real DEXs, real wallets — private money that finally lives where people actually transact.

// why it holds up

Inherited proofs, native speed.

[ proof ]

Same cryptography

The shielded circuit is Zcash's, unchanged. We inherit years of audits and the zero-knowledge guarantees — and leave the founder's reward, trusted-setup drama, and dead governance behind.

[ enforced ]

Validator-checked

Proofs are verified by a Solana program, not a multisig. Nobody — including us — can mint or move value without a valid proof the network accepts. The contract is the authority.

Where the volume is

$ZFORK is a real Solana token you can hold, trade, and move sub-second. Privacy that doesn't force a choice between being safe and being usable.
