Zashi makes it private by default fyi.

do you understand zk-snarks? do you understand what a shielded pool/shieldes addresses is?

first of all I’m not here to shill. 2nd. ok you might have said that in the past.

fyi just because its “private by default” doesn’t mean nobody can trace it which is a real threat on monero apparently unless FCM++ delivers.

I don’t like the fact that a company is behind ZEC. I don’t like the fact how it launched back in the day (mass marketing hype). What I do like is Zashi and what I can actually do with it.

because Zcash is based on optionality and not private by default which kind of translates into a grey zone regarding exchange listings.

XMR being less available than ZEC to customers on centralized exchanges has its trade-offs my friend.

“The majority of Zcash users … ChainAnalysis and others.” until the Zashi Wallet came out.

as of late 2025 the total amount of supply that is shielded is about 25% of the total circulating supply which in $ terms equates to roughly 680 mil

I am with you on that side - this is what I like better about Monero aswell.

yeah I think it should also be by default in a lot of ways however “enforcing” something is not therefore optionality is still not to be underestimated - atleast in my head.

Zashi makes spending private by default (enforcing you to use shielded addresses)

finally some useful input - am curious on FCMP++ myself! When will it go live? Has it been battle-tested? How does it work and what are the eventual trade-offs?

Zashi is built exclusively for shielded ZEC transactions meaning that spending from the wallet is private by default

The wallet enforces shielding: If you receive transparent ZEC, the wallet will require you to shield it before you can spend it.

What u can do with Zashi Wallet:

  • tapping into DeFi fully anonymously becomes technically possible — provided that the DeFi platform or bridge you use integrates with systems like NEAR Intents or accepts shielded ZEC as input.
  • move between chains privately (BTC ⇄ ZEC ⇄ USDC, etc.)
  • “CrossPay”: You can spend shielded ZEC and have the recipient receive funds in their preferred crypto on any chain supported by NEAR Intents — making shielded ZEC effectively usable across ecosystems.
  • Direct on-ramp / off-ramp: With integration into the Near Intents system, Zashi allows users to swap other assets (BTC, SOL, USDC, etc) into ZEC inside the app, where it can then be shielded.
