We looked into what more privacy could mean for Shield Pad. The swap layer, NEAR Intents, supports transparent Zcash addresses only (t1 and t3). Unified and shielded addresses aren't supported there yet.

So today single-use deposit addresses, no accounts, and you choose what's public, from the explorer listing to your payout address. When shielded support lands, we want to be ready. What would you want first: shielded payouts or shielded refunds?

Worth knowing: with ZEC payouts, the platform holds your share between distribution and conversion. Prefer to hold it yourself? Choose SOL payouts and fees go straight to your Solana wallet.

Shield Pad runs on NEAR Intents. Zcash and Solana don't talk to each other. NEAR Intents is what lets a ZEC deposit become the SOL needed to launch a pump.fun token, with no bridge for you to set up and no extra wallet to fund.

How we use it: - We quote the exact SOL a launch needs, and you see the ZEC amount up front - Each quote gets a single-use ZEC deposit address - If the swap can't complete, the deposit is refunded to your Zcash address shieldpad.fun

1. Listing: show your token in the public explorer, or keep it off the list. 2. Your ZEC address: with ZEC payouts, it stays off the explorer card by default. Turn it on only if you're happy to link it publicly to your token.

3. Initial buy: send the tokens to any Solana address you choose, or generate a fresh wallet in your browser. The token and its trades are public on Solana, like any pump.fun launch. Everything beyond that is your call. shieldpad.fun
