Cowl Protocol is live on Robinhood Chain mainnet. Every line below runs today, settled on chain, from a browser tab or a terminal.
- Shield => Move ETH or any token into the shielded pool.
- Unshield => Take it back out, to any address you like.
- Send => Pay a zcowl address, and the chain records neither end of it.
- Receive => One reusable address, share it anywhere.
- Swap => Trade straight from your shielded balance.
- Portfolio => Two books, and only one of them is yours to read.
- Gasless => The relayer pays and submits, so your wallet stays off chain.
- Auto route => Token to token, routed through ETH for you.
Both doors are open. The web app at app.cowlprotocol.com, and the CLI on npm.
Worth remembering how this looked at the start. One shielded pool. One terminal client. And a question nobody on this chain had answered. Can a spend settle in public while the ZK proof keeps the amounts and both parties sealed.
It can, and now it does.
The pool hit mainnet in July and the first private trade landed days later. Then the gasless relayer, because the gas payer is the tell almost nobody thinks about until it has already handed them over. Then the app. Surface by surface, until the entire protocol fit inside a browser tab, and this week the audit reports went public and the private swap opened to everyone.
And we are still early. What you can use today is the floor, not the ceiling.
- Audits going deeper, every report landing in the public repo
- A private $COWL airdrop, paid straight to zcowl addresses
- Earning, so backing the network pays you for it
- Private trading for agents, so a bot trades for you without ever holding your keys
- Upgrades across everything already live, week after week
