hey ansem, i'm igor, building sapling. here's the thesis behind @saplingdotcash. ZEC became one of the biggest trades of the cycle, and the trenches still couldn't touch it or trade on it privately. sapling is the first launchpad built for that: - trade and launch solana coins with nothing but a zcash wallet. no solana wallet, just a passkey - shielded launches: fund a coin from the shielded pool and nobody can ever tell who deployed it, provably - cash out straight into a shielded zcash address - any coin can fund the zcash foundation, shielded and verifiable on-chain - already running on the zcash shielded assets testnet. when ZSAs go live, sapling coins move onto zcash itself and BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W is the root under all of it. every trade on every coin buys it and burns it, and the roots of every coin flow into the BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W/ZEC pool, LP burned forever. the more the trenches trade, the scarcer it gets. today it's solana's road into zcash. soon, the same zcash account opens up other chains too. and the day zcash shielded assets go live, sapling coins move onto zcash itself.
