everyone is trying to figure out which privacy coin is going to pump next.
but i think there’s a much more interesting trade hiding in plain sight.
what happens when an entire ecosystem starts attracting liquidity, traders and speculation, but barely has the infrastructure to support all that activity?
someone has to build it.
and that’s exactly why $SAPLING caught my attention.
a zcash-native launchpad and trading terminal sitting around $1.5M MC, with actual revenue, buybacks, burns and a pretty interesting roadmap.
2026 is the year of $ZEC and privacy, and i think $SAPLING is one of those overlooked bets that could reprice violently.
let me explain.
what is sapling?
basically, a launchpad connecting the Zcash ecosystem with Solana’s trading infrastructure.
zcash brings privacy and the narrative.
solana brings liquidity, traders and execution speed.
sapling connects both worlds.
you can launch tokens, trade and receive payouts using your Zcash wallet. it also supports Phantom and Solflare.
even better, payouts can be sent to shielded Zcash addresses, although trades on Solana remain public.
pretty interesting tek imo.
now the tokenomics, which is where things get interesting.
every coin launched through sapling generates a 2% creator fee:
0.50% buys and burns $SAPLING.
0.50% adds liquidity to the $SAPLING/ZEC pool, with LP tokens burned.
0.80% goes to deployers, designated recipients or holders in ZEC.
0.20% goes to the protocol.
so basically:
more launches → more volume → more fees → more buybacks/burns → deeper liquidity.
the more people use the platform, the more potential buying pressure gets generated for $SAPLING.
and this isn’t just some theoretical flywheel.
according to their analytics:
~$33.7M total trading volume.
357 coins launched.
339K+ trades.
~$98.6K in $SAPLING buybacks.
212M+ tokens burned (21%+ of original supply).
~$86K added to liquidity.
~$112K distributed to holders.
all of this since september 25.
that’s hella impressive for a project barely a month old sitting around $1.5M MC.
and here’s the latest catalyst: the planned migration to Raydium.
this could be pretty significant for liquidity, trading infrastructure and future growth if executed properly.
the team has also shipped a trading terminal, expanded through Pons to Robinhood Chain and introduced tokenized stock pairs.
their longer-term vision includes bringing assets natively to Zcash once ZSAs reach mainnet.
this is much more than another random launchpad.
now think about the bigger picture.
if ZEC continues attracting capital and privacy becomes one of the leading narratives, where does that liquidity eventually flow?
into the infrastructure supporting the ecosystem.
and sapling is positioning itself right there.
ofc everything depends on actual adoption and sustained volume, but the early numbers are pretty encouraging.
at $1.5M MC, the r/r looks insanely attractive to me.
$5M–$10M MC wouldn’t surprise me if the Raydium migration delivers and trading activity accelerates.
and that’s without a full privacy ecosystem rotation.
the play isn’t always buying the narrative itself. sometimes it’s buying the infrastructure that benefits from it.
working tek, real usage, deflationary tokenomics and a strong narrative.
still early and risky, but i genuinely think this is hella underpriced.
higher $SAPLING. 🌱
@saxypassport@igor_zs1@Pumpfun@Raydium No they are migrating over meaning any coins launched on sapling now will be off raydium not pumpfun the coins layout will be the same just new launches on different pad
sapling:
- $309.7K protocol revenue in 23 days
- 206.94M solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W bought back and burned ($77.1K)
- $74.1K permanently added to solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W/ZEC liquidity, LP burnt
- almost $100K paid out to holders
it will be obvious in hindsight..
update on the first fully zcash-native terminal, @SaplingTerminal
we spent the last 48 hours testing it with real money.
final reviews and fixes next. here's a little sneak peek.
meanwhile, sapling keeps growing every hour:
$29.03M traded
$71.0K added to solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W liquidity (burnt)
$74.0K solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W bought back and burned
$91.9K paid to holders, in ZEC
205.6M solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W burned
@Spinerazor1@artsch00lreject@igor_zs1 I personally think the launchpad idea is very smart when it goes through privacy and zcash like cmon really think about and do your research on the launch pad all these other launchpads don’t have the same feel and functionality as this one even with the dev he is based asf
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?
a little update about me and where sapling is going, since a lot of new people are asking.
a bit about me: i've been building in crypto for years, and some of you have already used things i've been part of without ever knowing it was me. that's how i like it. and if you've watched what our team shipped since launch, big update after big update, you've probably already guessed we're not new to this. and you don't have to take my word for any of it, everything is on chain for you to check.
what i care about now is simple. privacy has been something people read about and never use. i want it to be the default way people trade. that's why sapling is the first fully @zcash native launchpad on solana, where you trade straight from your zcash wallet, and soon @SaplingTerminal becomes the home of every zcash holder.
stocks, fully shielded payouts, first zcash-native trading terminal, robinhood integration, one zcash wallet for all of it. it's all being built right now, quietly, the same way everything else got built.
so let me make this clear once again: if you haven't figured it out yet, sapling isn't just a launchpad, and solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W isn't just another pad coin.
this is the smallest sapling will ever be.
the ones who've been here since day 0 already know. if it's your first time here, all i can say is that you're early.
yesterday the whole market started talking about "bunker mode".
we've been building one, the privacy kind. and while everything bled, we kept shipping. this week alone:
- multi quote: pair your coin with ZEC or hSOL, staked SOL from @Helius, and its liquidity earns staking yield. tradable straight from your zcash wallet.
- @ZcashFoundation donations: a coin's fees can go straight to the Zcash Foundation. 1.57 ZEC donated so far.
- fund a @Zcash builder: any coin's fees can go to any zcash wallet.
- a public developer api and sdk, so anyone can build on sapling.
- graduated coins can get their @dexscreener profile paid for by sapling.
coming next:
- a rebuilt sapling UI/UX, smoother and cleaner everywhere
- bunker mode
- sapling on a new chain 👀
- @SaplingTerminal the home for all zcash holders soon.
