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.

Sapling retweeted
sapling, the first zcash-native launchpad and terminal, is moving to its own infrastructure.
after this week's security incidents across cloud hosting providers and the wider internet, we're taking every backend service off shared platforms and onto our own dedicated servers: encrypted disks, a private network between them, two locations with live failover, and no sapling keys* sitting in anyone else's systems.
this is a preventive move, not a reaction: we've seen no sign of anything touching sapling, just like the recent PHP exploit wave never reached us. it makes sapling more secure and more private for whatever comes next.
*no user funds or data were affected. your sapling account is controlled by your own passkey, so your funds never sit with us. you won't notice the move, and that's the point.
privacy isn't only what we build for you. it's how we run.
and in a few minutes: our public changelog and roadmap. everything we've shipped since day one and everything that's coming, so you always know where sapling is going and can share the long-term vision with us 🌱
sapling, the first zcash-native launchpad, is live on @RobinhoodCrypto chain.
your zcash shouldn't have to leave zcash to trade.
one zcash wallet. two chains. this is just the second chain.
from your @Zcash wallet:
• launch a coin on @ponsdotfamily (thanks @MEADGod for what you've built)
• buy and sell any sapling coin there, paid in ZEC, paid out in ZEC
• sell straight to a shielded zcash address
• no evm wallet, no seed phrase, nothing to bridge yourself
every robinhood trade feeds solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W too:
• 0.675% buys solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W and burns it
• 0.675% grows solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W/ZEC liquidity, LP burned
• 1.08% goes to the coin's creator or its holders, in ZEC
zcash in. zcash out.
more pairs and more creator fee options roll out soon.
end of thread.
nothing below this post is us. we will never dm you first, never ask for your seed or passkey.
sites: sapling.cash · sapling.trade
x: @saplingdotcash · @SaplingTerminal
telegram: @saplingcash · @saplingcommunity
solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W has $237K of liquidity at a $1.58M market cap
that’s 1.6x deeper than the typical solana coin its size, and it only goes one way. every trade on sapling adds more, and the LP is burned so it never leaves
zcash whales are more than welcome. bring your zcash:native
Sapling retweeted
two charts.
memecoin all time highs keep getting lower every cycle. privacy all time highs keep getting higher, and zcash:native just set the biggest one ever at $27.9B.
the money moved, the people didn't. traders still want the casino, they just don't want their wallet on a public chart for anyone to track.
i believe memecoins can break their old ceilings again, if they ride the biggest opportunity we have right now: privacy.
that's what @saplingdotcash and @SaplingTerminal are built for. launch, trade and cash out straight from your zcash wallet.
memecoins were the trend, private money is the future. sapling is where they meet.
Sapling retweeted
24 days ago sapling didn't exist, and @Zcash holders had no way to trade/trench straight from their zcash wallets.
today we submitted it to @DefiLlama. on yesterday's numbers it would rank:
- #3 privacy protocol by fees
- top 10 launchpad by revenue
- #5 launchpad by holders revenue
- #41 of 235 protocols across every chain by holders revenue
private money is the future. zcash is the money, sapling is how people start using it.
sapling, sharper.
yet another new look across the whole site, your zcash wallet first on every coin, and every number in the open:
• $327K protocol revenue
• $91K spent buying back solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W
• $101K paid to holders, in ZEC
• $78K added to solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W/ZEC liquidity
roadmap so far:
• bunker mode: live
• stocks, launch a coin paired to a stock: live
• sapling terminal: live
• shielded payouts: live
• @RobinhoodCrypto chain with @ponsdotfamily: next (very soon)
• ZSAs: the day they reach zcash mainnet
same sapling. cleaner, faster, zcash first.
the first zcash-native terminal is live.
one click, any coin, straight from your zcash wallet. and every trade feeds the solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W flywheel.
this is day one.
Sapling Terminal is live 🛡️
the first zcash-native launchpad now has its own terminal and it is the first zcash-native terminal: sapling.trade
trade any coin, not just sapling's, with one click, straight from your zcash wallet's ZEC.
here's everything it does 👇
1. why a terminal
@Zcash has the strongest privacy in crypto. the traders live somewhere else, on the fastest terminals, trading memecoins, tech projects, viral narratives all day.
so we built the terminal they already know, and made zcash:native the money behind it.
you deposit ZEC once, trade at full speed, and withdraw back to your zcash wallet whenever you want. every trade grows solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W.
2. deposit from your zcash wallet
send ZEC from @zodl_app or @noir_wallet. it lands in your terminal trading balance in a few minutes.
your balance is yours. your account is a passkey you make once, and only you control it.
3. instant trading
click buy. it's bought. done in seconds.
sells go straight back into your balance, ready for the next one.
• live charts down to the second
• every trade as it lands, holders and top traders
• pulse: every new coin, live, with quick buy right from the list
• your PnL, with a card to share it
• keyboard trading: pick an amount, hit b, done
4. withdraw anytime
one click sends your whole balance back to your zcash wallet as zcash:native. it arrives in minutes.
5. the flywheel
every terminal trade pays a 1% fee, and part of every fee goes straight back into solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W:
• 0.10% buys solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W and burns it
• 0.15% adds to solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W/ZEC liquidity, LP burned
• 0.75% builds the sapling ecosystem
more volume on the terminal means more solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W bought and burned, and a deeper pool under every sapling coin.
and on sapling itself, 0.50% of every trade already buys and burns solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W.
6. sapling so far
• $312K+ protocol revenue (239 ZEC)
• $30M+ volume (22,800+ ZEC), $1M+ in the last 24h
• $95K+ paid to holders, in ZEC
• $77K+ of solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W bought back and burned, 207M tokens, 20.7% of supply
• $74K+ added to solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W/ZEC liquidity, LP burned
• $255K TVL in the solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W/ZEC pool
• 33M solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W locked (23M founder, 10M treasury)
• 312 coins planted, 20 graduated (6.4%)
private money is the future. zcash is the money, sapling is how people start using it.

it will be obvious in hindsight..
one of @mert's favorite zcash use cases, and we built sapling exactly for this.
launch a coin on sapling from your zcash wallet and redirect its creator fees straight to any zcash wallet: shielded donations, or privately funding any builder or project.
this time the traders fund it. every trade sends $ZEC to the cause.

how it works, with roman storm as the example:
1. go to sapling.cash/plant and connect your zcash wallet
2. set your creator fees to go to a zcash wallet, and paste any zcash address (for example, roman's ZEC donation address from freerogernow.org/roman-storm)
3. plant your coin
from then on, every trade on it sends ZEC straight to that wallet, in this case roman's legal defense. shielded, automatic.
