what's zera?
ZERA is a privacy-focused protocol on Solana that transforms existing cryptocurrencies like USDC, USDT, SOL, BTC, and ETH into private, portable digital cash, emphasizing user sovereignty and fungibility in transactions. It leverages a single compressed zero-knowledge (ZK) pool to enable shielded balances and unlinkable transfers, ensuring transaction privacy without compromising scalability. Key innovations include offline peer-to-peer (P2P) payments via NFC and Bluetooth, alongside a developer-friendly stack for building privacy-enhanced DeFi applications. The project targets everyday spending and remittances in crypto, positioning itself as a layer for seamless, anonymous asset usage in high-throughput environments like Solana. ZERA recently completed a successful token migration from $M0N3Y with over 93% community participation via MigrateFun, demonstrating strong holder engagement and transitioning to mainnet operations. It integrates with Solana's ecosystem for low-cost, fast private transactions, appealing to users seeking alternatives to transparent blockchains.
Zera is expanding its team, self-funded through LP fees rather than external grants.
