Zephyr is the first private stablecoin built on Monero technology — a unique four-asset ecosystem that gives you a USD-pegged dollar, real yield, and untraceable transactions out of one fully encrypted wallet.
Most stablecoins live on transparent ledgers where every transaction is searchable forever. Zephyr is different. Built as a fork of Monero, it inherits ring signatures, stealth addresses, and RingCT — so balances are private, addresses are unlinkable, and amounts are confidential by default. Then it adds something Monero never had: a stable dollar and real yield.
Every transaction hides sender, receiver, and amount via Monero's RingCT + stealth addresses. No KYC. No surveillance. No "view-only" disclosure unless you choose to share your view key.
Zephyr forks the Monero codebase — over a decade of cryptographic research. The privacy isn't bolted on; it's how the chain was built.
Mining emissions are partially redirected to ZYS holders — the protocol pays you to participate. No black-box DeFi protocols, no rehypothecated collateral.
Most chains have one native coin. Zephyr's design balances four — each with a specific job — so the system can offer a stable dollar AND a yield asset AND a store of value AND leverage, all interlocking through mining.
The native coin. Mined via proof-of-work just like Monero. Acts as the system's collateral — ZSD and ZRS are minted by depositing ZEPH into the reserve. Fully private by default.
The first private stablecoin built on Monero tech. Minted by swapping ZEPH for ZSD at the live oracle price. Pegged to USD, but transactions are invisible — balances and amounts are hidden by Monero-derived cryptography. Spend it like cash.
The reserve coin. Holders absorb volatility on the upside and downside — when ZEPH price moves, ZRS rate moves with it. Backs the ZSD peg. Mintable up to the 800% collateralization cap.
Stake ZSD into the yield pool, receive ZYS. 5% of every block's mining emission gets converted to ZSD and distributed to ZYS holders — that's your real, on-chain APY. No external counterparty, no smart-contract risk.
Stake ZSD into the ZYS pool and start receiving a share of every block's mining emission. The yield comes from the protocol itself — not lending, not rehypothecation, not someone else's deposit. Withdraw anytime. Your balance, your privacy.
A privacy stablecoin that has never depegged. A yield share whose price cannot decline by design. A base coin held tightly enough that adoption mechanically reshapes the chain. The facts are settled; the rest depends on whether people show up to use it.
Held its $1 peg through a 98% drawdown in ZEPH, the collateral that backs ZSD. The Djed mechanism + capped collateral + ZRS arbitrage make a death spiral mathematically impossible.
Trailing 12-month return on ZYS — paid in stablecoin, sourced from PoW block emissions, achieved while ZEPH itself fell 90%. The yield source is structural, not market-dependent.
Up 75% since launch in October 2024. By construction, ZYS is a pool of stablecoin earning stablecoin yield — no impermanent loss, no rehypothecation, no path for the share price to fall.
USDC and similar stables pay 3–4%. ZYS has been paying multiples of that, in the same asset, from a different and more stable source. Once it's accessible from MetaMask, capital will compare.
When wrapped ZYS reaches Uniswap, every USDC-to-wZYS purchase forces arbitrage bots to buy ZEPH on a CEX to rebalance the pools. The buying does two things at once: it locks ZEPH out of circulation, and it makes every subsequent block's distribution to ZYS holders worth more — since each payout is sized in live ZEPH terms.
USDT sits at $186B. ZSD is under $1M. Single collateral, ~7M ZEPH free float, 32%+ already locked in reserve. Even modest adoption requires meaningful repricing of the underlying.
The official Zephyr Wallet runs locally — your seed never leaves your machine. Holds all four assets (ZEPH, ZSD, ZRS, ZYS) in one interface. Mints, converts, sends, receives, stakes for yield — all with the same one-time stealth-address privacy guarantees inherited from Monero.
Wallet seed is encrypted with your password before it ever touches disk. No "we'll store it for you" custodian — you hold the keys.
Mint ZSD, convert to ZRS, stake into ZYS, receive yield — all from a single wallet UI. No bridges, no L2s, no moving funds between protocols.
Forked from Monero's well-audited codebase, with the Zephyr-specific reserve and yield mechanics added in the open. Anyone can verify the cryptography.
