$ZECR is now live.
As we scale API first shielded checkouts and automated settlement, the token anchors the network's settlement layer and ecosystem incentives.

A lot of you have asked to see ZECRail in action.
We’re putting together a demo video that walks through the checkout flow - from a shielded ZEC payment to USDC settlement on Robinhood Chain.
It’s in progress. We’ll share it as soon as it’s ready.
We’re building checkout infrastructure that connects shielded ZEC payments with public USDG settlement on Robinhood Chain.
The flow: a merchant creates a quote, the customer pays in ZEC, and the merchant receives an onchain settlement record. The privacy boundary is clear - the ZEC payment can be shielded; the Robinhood Chain payout is public.

Financial privacy at checkout should not mean compliance nightmares on the books.
Most crypto checkout flows expose buyer addresses, balances, and entire transaction histories to public block explorers. ZECRail completely decouples the consumer edge from merchant settlement.
Buyers pay with shielded ZEC using dedicated, single use Sapling addresses keeping sender addresses, memos, and balances private on the Zcash network.
Behind the scenes, the rail handles locked rate execution and automatically delivers public, audit ready USDC payouts on Robinhood Chain.
Zero metadata leaked by the customer. Verifiable settlement delivered to the merchant.
What is ZECRail?
ZECRail is checkout infrastructure designed to make privacy preserving payments practical for real world digital commerce.
Instead of routing transparent token transfers that leak buyer data, ZECRail provides an API first bridge between shielded Zcash inputs and public Robinhood Chain settlements.
The rail operates in three automated phases:
A merchant requests a checkout quote via the API, locking the exchange rate and generating a dedicated single use Sapling address with an explicit expiry window.
The customer sends shielded ZEC, ensuring zero metadata leakage sender addresses, balances, and transfer memos remain strictly private onchain.
Upon network confirmation, the rail triggers automated USDC payout directly to the merchant's destination address on Robinhood Chain, delivering a provable transaction hash and signed webhook event.
Zero customer data leaks on the frontend. Full onchain verifiability on the backend.
Our DMs are open.
As we continue building out the ZECRail checkout infrastructure, we want direct feedback from developers, merchants, and the community.
If you have suggestions on:
• API design & developer tooling
• Checkout flow & integration UX
• Additional settlement assets or chains
Drop a message in our DMs. We're reading and iterating on everything.
ZECRail is designed to make zero knowledge privacy practical for digital commerce by decoupling the payment edge from the settlement rail:
• Shielded Input: Buyers send private ZEC to single use Sapling addresses encrypting sender data, memos, and balances on the Zcash network.
• Deterministic Routing: Locked payout quotes and single use address mapping eliminate checkout slippage and payment collisions.
• Public Settlement: Orders resolve automatically into USDC on Robinhood Chain (RHC), giving merchants clean, verifiable onchain receipts without holding volatile assets.
Consumer privacy on the frontend. Full auditability on the backend.
Private ZEC in. Onchain settlement out.
Introducing ZECRail an API first checkout rail designed for privacy preserving payments with verified settlement.
• Accept shielded ZEC with single use addresses
• Zero customer data leaks on the payment layer
• Automated settlement payouts on Robinhood Chain
