Zuri: Private cross-chain payouts powered by Zcash — fund from any chain, pay to any chain, stay unlinked.

Bridges and cross-chain routers expose sender→recipient linkages. Zuri instead uses Zcash’s shielded pool as a periodically replenished privacy substrate, enabling unlinkable private payouts to Solana without requiring users to touch ZEC or manage extra wallets.

This unlocks:

• Private Solana-bound remittances

• ZEC-backed privacy for any-chain → Solana transfers

• Clean infrastructure for apps needing private cross-chain settlement

Zuri shows how Zcash can serve as an invisible, renewable privacy backbone for Solana-focused applications.

What is Zuri

Zuri is a lightweight cross-chain settlement layer that lets users fund a payment on any chain and deliver it privately to Solana or another chain like ETH, without revealing the sender or linking the source to the destination. Users never hold or see ZEC. Instead, Zuri maintains its own shielded Zcash balance, periodically funding in the backend to preserve a strong anonymity set while providing a simple, familiar “Send Privately” UX.

Zuri demonstrates how Zcash can serve as the core privacy rail of a multichain world, solving a foundational problem in crypto: private cross-chain value transfer that feels as simple as sending a normal transaction.

How Zuri Works

User funds with any asset (e.g., SOL or ETH on Sepolia or Solana devnet).

Zuri receives the user funding on the originating chain while paying out to the destination chain via ZEC shielded transfers.

A NEAR intent encodes the payout request in a verifiable, chain-agnostic format.

Zuri’s solver executes a private payout on the destination chain (e.g., USDC on Solana Devnet) with no visible connection to the original funder.

To the user, this all appears as a single action:

“Send Privately” — from any chain to any chain.
