Current blockchain bridges expose everything: your transaction amounts, wallet addresses, trading strategies, and holdings across all chains. Front-runners exploit this transparency, competitors copy your DeFi strategies, and your financial privacy is completely compromised. If you bridge 100 NEAR from Near to Solana, everyone can link your addresses, see your capital, and track your every move.

ZeroBridge solves this by routing all cross-chain transfers through Zcash's Orchard shielded pool, creating a privacy layer that breaks transaction graphs. When you bridge assets, they enter Zcash as encrypted notes that hide amounts, senders, and recipients. When you withdraw to the destination chain, zero-knowledge proofs verify ownership without revealing which deposit you're claiming. The result: your NEAR address and Solana address remain completely unlinkable, with no on-chain connection between them.

What You Can Do With ZeroBridge:

• Private DeFi Across Chains - Deploy capital from Zcash to fresh addresses on any chain. Provide liquidity on PropellerSwap, AVNU, lend on Rhea Finance, or trade on Jupiter without revealing your total portfolio size or linking positions together. Each interaction appears as an independent user.

• Protected Trading Strategies - Execute high-frequency trading or arbitrage without competitors tracking your moves. Fund bots from Zcash shielded pool to new addresses, run strategies at scale, aggregate profits privately. Front-runners can't target you because they can't see your capital or patterns.

• Anonymous NFT Purchases - Buy NFTs without revealing your wallet's wealth. Bridge from Zcash to a fresh address with just enough funds, make your purchase, then bridge remaining balance back through a different route. The seller never sees your holdings.

• Private Cross-Border Payments - Send value globally without surveillance. Bridge USDC from Solana through Zcash to NEAR in one flow—recipient gets funds from a fresh address with zero connection to your source wallet.

• Institutional Privacy - Institutions can deploy capital across DeFi protocols without revealing their strategies or total AUM. Each position looks like a small independent player.

• Making Privacy Accessible - No need to understand Zcash wallets or manage shielded addresses manually. Bridge in one transaction from any supported chain (Ethereum, StarkNet, Solana, NEAR, Mina, Osmosis), and ZeroBridge handles all Zcash shielded pool interactions automatically.

The system achieves true unlinkability - even if someone knows you deposited 100 OSMO, when you withdraw 50 SOL later, they cannot prove the connection. Your withdrawal could correspond to ANY previous deposit in the entire history of the bridge, creating an anonymity set of thousands of transactions.
