Why my bet on the privacy meta is with $Sapling even though $Mask is currently sitting at a significantly higher mc.
Don retweeted
sapling is ready for @RobinhoodCrypto season
launch a coin on Robinhood Chain through @ponsdotfamily, right from sapling
pick your tax, none to 3%, and send it to:
- holders in zcash:native
- a basket of real stocks
- your own zcash wallet (shielded or transparent)
- the @Zcash
all from your zcash wallet. no bridge, no new wallet

solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W is giving people a reason to actually USE their $ZEC. Launch coins, trade, cash out—and keep activity moving through the ecosystem.
The numbers are getting hard to ignore:
• $46.65M traded
• 542,500+ trades
• 516 coins launched
• $665.5K in protocol revenue
• $231.2K paid to holders
• 22.65% of $SAPLING supply burned
That’s usage, revenue and payouts already happening. (sapling.cash)
The part that makes me bullish? Trading activity helps fund buybacks, liquidity and rewards. If Sapling keeps attracting traders and creators, there’s a direct path for that growth to feed back into the ecosystem.
Every new launch is another chance to bring a community into Sapling. Those people can become traders, holders and creators themselves.
Execution still has to keep delivering, but this is why I’m watching $SAPLING so closely. A growing Zcash economy needs places where people actually want to spend their time and use their coins.
Sapling is building a fucking reason to stick around. 🌱
@saplingdotcash @igor_zs1
zm! @TaikiMaeda2 asked the right question, and the answer is you don't have to pick
if zec takes btc's lunch, the biggest winners are the places zec actually gets used, not just held. that's sapling: launch and trade straight from your own zcash wallet, holders and creators paid in zec, 89% of what we earn back on chain
zcash:native is the thesis. solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W is the leveraged bet on it
the full case 👇

A barista lost her life savings in a spear phishing attack. They preyed on her kindness and willingness to help others. This kind of scam unfortunately has no recourse. The EFTA does nothing for her here.
And then Zcash entered the chat.
I’m so proud to advocate for shielded transactions that will help Sarah protect her assets from prying eyes, self-custody that will help Sarah keep her funds safe, and, use of Zcash for payments, which means credit card processing fees won’t eat away at these tips.
There are some phenomenal upgrades that will make Zcash even stronger and more competitive coming to wallets soon that could not be possible without developers obsessing over how to improve the technology.
Beyond grateful for what this technology enables and that I have the privilege of educating policymakers and regulators about it.
update @zooko: sarah has now received 20.37 $ZEC (~$25K) in shielded donations
19 deliveries straight to her shielded zcash wallet in under 10 hours, every one with a memo saying it came from solana:4LT4uDp694w7soJerjRjSEVr2884J33EjLNG1WGzcash on sapling.cash. another 0.76 $ZEC is on its way right now
every delivery, with its zcash and solana receipts: sapling.cash/payout?coin=4LT…
this is what zcash-native means
Don retweeted
a sapling.cash coin already donated $19k worth of $ZEC to her directly to her shielded zcash wallet

update: sarah has now received 8.21 $ZEC (~$10K) in shielded donations
8 deliveries straight to her zcash wallet in a few hours, each one with a memo saying where it came from. another 0.98 $ZEC is on its way, 0.31 $ZEC is waiting in the pot, and $4.4K more is still converting
@zooko next time you grab a coffee, ask her if she likes the shielded donations from a sapling coin more than a shielded welcome note
Don retweeted
we didn't build the first zcash-native launchpad for memes only
sarah got phished out of every dollar she had. @zooko told her story this morning. hours later, a coin was paying her directly to her Shielded Zcash wallet
her first shielded donation landed: 1.35 $ZEC straight to her @Zcash wallet, 9 minutes from the coin's pot to her phone. 1.13 $ZEC more is already on its way, $13K+ still converting, and a donation lands every 15 minutes
every delivery carries a memo saying where it came from. receipt: sapling.cash/payout/12
this is what zcash-native means
Hey errybody go send a Shielded Encouragement Note to Sarah: nitter.cf/zooko/status/211763690…
Don retweeted
happy 10 years @zcash 🛡️
@zooko asked everyone for one message of gratitude today. ours goes out every day
for years, if you held ZEC and wanted to trade anything, you had to bridge out and leave your privacy behind. sapling flips that. you launch, buy and sell straight from your zcash wallet, and everyone else gets paid in ZEC
35 days of non-stop working, onboarding people to zcash and giving them real reasons to hold and use it:
- 30,880 ZEC of trading volume ($38.6M)
- 126K payouts to holders in ZEC, 114.40 ZEC in total ($143K)
- 7.67 ZEC sent to the @ZcashFoundation ($9.6K)
- 351.88 ZEC earned by the protocol ($440K). 90% of it goes back out, and we keep 10%
zcash holders don't need to leave. everything comes to zcash
here's to the next one hundred years

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.

two chains. one zcash wallet. zero bridges.
this is what zcash-native actually means, and robinhood is just chain two.
zcash:native picked the right day to rip. good time to be early.
solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W is next.

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.

genuine question for @zooko, @EliBenSasson, @ebfull, @Zcash and @ZcashFoundation:
@saplingdotcash is onboarding people to zcash. we've been contributing for a while and we'll keep doing it, but your support would help take zcash even more mainstream.
these aren't people buying ZEC spot and letting it sit: they're opening zcash wallets, learning to shield and using zcash every day. messages like this one land in my DMs every week.
in 19 days:
- paid 68.5 zcash:native ($77K+) to holders, across 69,879+ payouts
- moved 21,400+ ZEC ($24M+) through zcash-native trading
- sent 5.4 ZEC to the zcash foundation
- 303 coins, 6,585 holders, 277,000+ trades total
every fee is ZEC, every payout is ZEC, and you can trade, launch and cash out straight from a zcash wallet, shielded.
we're building the road from where the traders are to zcash. why isn't zcash part of this conversation yet?

solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W released metrics on saplings.cash/stats.
Compared to $STONK:
SAPLING 18 Day rev = 0.3M, FDV = 2m.
STONK 18 Day rev = 0.5M, FDV = 11M
Sapling looks cheap at the same age. It brings in about 1/3 of STONK’s fees but trades at about 1/7 of its market cap. Valued the way STONK was at day 18, Sapling would be about $6–8M.
I have personally interacted with the community and it genuinely reminds me of early Stonk members, no reason it should be this undervalued.
As well, all of this ignores the upcoming Sapling terminal @SaplingTerminal, which I think is a complete game changer in terms of how much volume and revenue it can bring.
Imagine if zcash:native whales want to have fun with their gains and trade memecoins like all of us (but in privacy) :)
That is how NFT and memecoin mania started for ethereum:native. And this is the Zcash cycle so...
I see a trade. 🌱🛡️

for 10 years, @Zcash holders had the best privacy in crypto and nowhere to trade with it.

not anymore. every coin, every chain, straight from your zcash wallet.
