The problem it solves
Privacy-preserving cross-chain DeFi access for Zcash holders.
Zcash users have strong privacy but are isolated from DeFi opportunities on Ethereum, Solana, etc. This bridge lets them:
- Shield ZEC into private pZEC on NEAR
- Access DeFi (lending, swaps, staking) across multiple chains
- Maintain privacy through ZK proofs and NEAR’s intent system
- Unshield back to ZEC when done
