the new sapling is live. 🛡️ trade @solana coins without ever leaving @Zcash, now on a sapling rebuilt from the roots up. here's everything sapling is today, and where it goes next 👇 1. the thesis privacy only matters if people actually use it. zcash has the strongest privacy in crypto. what it never had was the flow: the traders, the volume, a reason to show up every day. all of that lives on solana, in memecoins, the biggest on-ramp in crypto. zcash doesn't need to become a memecoin chain. it needs a road from where the traders already are. sapling is that road. every fee and every payout on sapling is ZEC, and every trade can start and end in your zcash wallet, without touching a solana wallet. no new chain to learn. no bridge to figure out. you come for the coins, and you cash out to a shielded zcash wallet. that's how privacy stops being a niche and becomes a habit: one trade at a time, from where people already are. the mission: be the first fully zcash-native launchpad on solana, and the first to bring its coins onto zcash itself. the first part is done. now we're building sapling into the home for every zcash holder. 2. trade from your zcash wallet connect @noir_wallet or @zodl_app. buy any coin with ZEC, sell with one face ID tap, and the ZEC lands back in your zcash wallet. no phantom. no SOL. no seed phrase. your account is a passkey, and only you control it. zcash in. zcash out. powered by @near_intents. 3. launch from your zcash wallet plant a coin with ZEC in a few taps. or launch it shielded: paid from zcash's shielded pool into a brand-new account made only for that coin. nothing sapling publishes says who launched it. 4. pick your pair • zcash:native • solana:he1iusmfkpAdwvxLNGV8Y1iSbj4rUy6yMhEA3fotn9A @Helius liquid staking token, so the coin's liquidity earns staking yield every epoch, with nothing to do (we're thankful for @mert for everything he's done for Zcash) zcash wallets trade both the same way: ZEC in, ZEC out. 5. every trade pays in ZEC every trade pays a 2% creator fee, turned into ZEC and split on chain by the sapling vault: • 0.80% goes where the deployer chose: themselves, their holders, any zcash wallet, or the Zcash Foundation, forever • 0.50% buys solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W and burns it • 0.50% deepens solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W/ZEC liquidity, LP burned so nobody can ever pull it • 0.20% runs sapling holder rewards go out automatically, and anyone can verify every run. sell to a shielded address and your ZEC arrives as a shielded note, with a receipt in its memo. 6. solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W is the rootstock 0.50% of every trade on sapling buys solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W and burns it, forever. so far: • 263 coins planted • $18M+ traded (15,344 ZEC) • $70K+ paid to holders, in ZEC • $57K locked in liquidity forever • 201.7M solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W burned (20%+ of supply) • 33M solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W locked (3.3% of supply) • 1.57 ZEC donated to @ZcashFoundation more activity on sapling = less solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W 7. roadmap • bunker mode • stocks: coins paired with tokenized stocks, starting with NVDAx • @SaplingTerminal: trade anything on solana from your zcash wallet • @RobinhoodCrypto chain: the same zcash account, launching and trading with @ponsdotfamily • fully shielded payouts, straight to your shielded address • when ZSAs land on zcash, sapling coins become native zcash assets. already built on the ZSA testnet, open source: github.com/saplingcash/zsa the path from solana's traders to zcash privacy is open, and it only gets wider from here.
