ZERA Protocol V3 is here.
This is a major protocol and UX upgrade for ZERA Private Cash.
Users now see a single online private balance, with no manual split flow, as well as a separate offline private balance. Under the hood, the new 2-in-2-out circuit handles split, change, merge, dust absorption, and note consolidation automatically.
That means the wallet can feel simple on the surface, while the protocol keeps doing the hard ZK accounting underneath.
V3 also introduces a hardened stealth-note pipeline with per-note ownership keys, plus a cleaner separation between online spendable notes and offline vault notes — an important foundation for cold-storage notes and future offline payments.
This means:
✅ Cleaner UX
✅ Send any amount instantly
✅ Stronger note privacy
✅ Better wallet abstraction
✅ Built for offline payments
A full technical article breaking down the V3 architecture is coming soon.
Next up:
The additional asset drops, while development now shifts toward the ZERA mobile app and with it the full trustless offline flow.
True digital cash is not a feature. It’s a stack, and ZERA V3 is a major step forward.
Welcome to the new Zero Knowledge Era.

Worth a watch, but just scratching the surface of why privacy is so important.
Moving all of finance and regular Joes on chain requires compliant privacy. Neither institutions nor individuals want to publicly broadcast their holdings and moves.
@ZeraLabs is not only shielding your assets, but with the upcoming SDK, complete and total privacy can be applied to messaging, identification and whatever else you can think of. All while deflating the $ZERA governance token.
Zoom out. Billions.

$ZERA concept explained as simply as possible
Imagine your crypto is like money in a glass jar. Everyone sees your balance and every transaction
ZERA turns it into private cash in an envelope:
Hide what you hold, send to friends with zero trace, and even hand it off offline like physical bills
Fully backed by real SOL/USDC/etc
$ZERA token gets burned as more people use it, so more privacy = value growth. Super simple privacy layer on Solana.

Privacy patch on all 3 ZERA pools today.
Removed an on-chain (spendPub, viewPub) registry PDA from deposit_v3.
Pat noticed it created a permanent retroactive de-anon index if viewSk ever leaked
pivot from wallet → viewPub → scan every note ever addressed to that wallet.
This is why we test and take feedback thanks everyone.

The next evolution of the ZERA Protocol is almost here.
The merge update has grown in scope, now including extra security hardening and protocol optimization that brings the backend closer to ZERA contracts v3.
Setting up better UX and the next wave of asset support.
Zoon.

Current focus: Making private balances feel far more natural to use with the note merge update. This is the next major UX upgrade for ZERA. Right now, private balances can be spread across separate notes, with no merge functionality yet, and manual splitting still needed before some sends and withdrawals. The merge update abstracts all of that away. What it means in practice: ✅ One private balance per asset, not a stack of notes. ✅ Deposits and incoming transfers merge automatically. ✅ Sends and withdrawals split automatically when needed. All of it happens in the background. Under the hood, this is enabled by an upgraded 2-in-2-out circuit, so merge, split, and transfer all share the same privacy shape on-chain. Better UX. Even stronger privacy. Current protocol support: SOL, USDC & ZERA. Once this update goes live, the broader rollout of additional asset support begins. Likely first in line: $wBTC, $ZEC. With one of the strongest community suggestions so far in the meme category: $NEET. What token do you want to shield, hold and transact privately with?

why three separate programs?
1/ Upgrade blast radius. If we ship a subtle circuit bug that only shows up at scale, the damage is contained to one pool. Other pools keep running. You can pause/upgrade/migrate independently.
2/ Proof-system binding. Each pool has an asset_hash that's part of the Groth16 public inputs. Separate program IDs → separate PDAs → separate merkle trees. A USDC proof literally cannot verify against the SOL pool's tree. Compromise isolation by design.
3/ Governance. Different assets may want different fee structures, burn rates, pause authorities. A monolith forces convergence. Separate programs let ZERA's policy diverge from USDC's over time.

With yesterday’s multi-asset update, ZERA took another step toward becoming a broader privacy layer for Solana.
That means the path is now open for more tokens to be added for private holding, sending, and receiving.
Likely next in line: $wBTC and $ZEC.
Some additional suggestions from the ZERA community so far:
#SPX6900 (wormhole), $NEET, $TESTICLE, $HODL.
Which token communities and holders need confidentiality the most?
The goal is not private support for just a few assets. It is privacy as a layer for the wider Solana economy and beyond.

Three pools live on mainnet: USDC, SOL, ZERA. Each with its own private merkle tree, its own asset-bound ZK proofs, its own burn mechanics. More pools on the way.

Multi-Asset Support is now live in the ZERA Dashboard. You can now shield your holdings and transact privately with ZERA, SOL & USDC using ZERAs Private Cash Addresses. This update is a step toward a more modular privacy layer on Solana, where new SPL assets can be integrated with a cleaner and more scalable path as the protocol evolves. ✅ More assets. ✅ More utility. ✅ More private flows. Let us know what token you want to see added next! Note: Current fees are temporary while final testing is underway. The long-term target remains a 0.5% ZERA buyback & burn rate, with additional fees removed for this phase. Give the ZERA Dashboard a try here ⤵️

Making payment rails for third-party apps, automated flows, and AI agents private with just a few lines of code.
ZERAs Confidential SDKs, another update in the immediate pipeline, will open the door to broader usage, with protocol-level buyback + 🔥 burn always on underneath.

Building out an SDK for everyone to use esp AI agents isn't too hard we have all the base code already @ZeraLabs

After the relay update, there is no longer any wallet-level leakage on P2P transfers or withdraws that can connect a user’s wallet to Protocol activity. (Amounts and recipients were already private.)
What’s visible now:
Alice deposit = visible
The in-link into the Protocol is still public. solscan.io/tx/oWsztd7DWAP…
Alice send + Bob receive = Total private!
No on-chain traces that is linkable to any of the involved wallets!
Those actions are submitted through the Protocol flow, not exposed as direct wallet activity from Alice or Bob.
Bob withdraw to fresh wallet = visible out-link but anonymous as there is zero linkage to Bobs main wallet doing the withdraw!
The chain can see funds leave the Protocol to wallet #2, but no interaction by Bob's main wallet or the private transfer path in between.
solscan.io/tx/3F4oLYoyW13…
(The Protocol funds the withdraw address with SOL if it's a to a fresh one)
Public in. Private inside. Anonymous out.
Note: the note-merging update is also in progress. Once that lands, deposits, sends and receives will auto-merge notes in the background, removing the need for "splitting" in the UX and making balances much cleaner to manage. out.
