This week we are focused on the decentralizion tech that companies like @LightProtocol provide and want to actually do away with the relayer system all together. Please check out our demos and how it will work as we push from experiments to production integration.
Below is a public release of an experiment not even a beta test. This will not be supported software it is proof of concept.

Deploying another pool! Fixing bugs... @ZeraLabs xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1RJjppaRz…
Thanks to everyone who's been testing and giving feedback, helping us harden the new flow. 🤝
A few UI/UX improvements for the Dashboard are next, then focus shifts toward the ZERA mobile app and the full trustless offline flow.
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.

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?

What token do you want to shield, hold and transact privately with?
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.

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.

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

Dev update + takeaway from the recent stream and MVP mainnet release:
ZERA Confidential SDKs are on the roadmap for third-party integrations across apps and agentic flows.
This release wasn’t just the Dashboard, it’s also the component stack we’ve been building from day one: SDK layer + API layer + data layer.
We already have TypeScript SDKs in the codebase that we’re now cleaning up and preparing to publish, so developers can plug ZERA’s privacy primitives into wallets, apps, or services without being locked into a single front-end.
This gets especially interesting for AI / agentic systems: the goal is "a few lines of code" to give bots, agents, and automated workflows native, privacy-preserving value movement using the same rails that power the ZERA Dashboard.
And importantly: the buyback + 🔥 burn mechanics are program and smart contract-based, meaning they remain active regardless of who integrates the SDK.
As privacy volume expands across the third-party ecosystem, the incentive layer stays always-on — and the $ZERA token supply keeps tightening as designed.
More details soon.

Re-watch the ZERA segment below ⤵️
TL;DR: Last weeks relay update unlocked 100% private P2P transactions + anonymous withdraws.
ZERA + SOL support is expected to be added to the Protocol in the next few days.
Meanwhile, here’s a quick Alice & Bob trace check after last week’s relay update on a Deposit → Private P2P → Withdraw flow.
To keep it simple, we used 3 fresh wallets:
1️⃣ Alice Fdqyu9bcpSNVHgNwrvadJzRZFR1Np7vc32ZRpzFGFFLD
2️⃣ Bob main HqtG2rv6JRYBd9neueeD2niqqNfG1WcbRNJxwN24hMkg
3️⃣ Bob 2nd DF6DiQrSifqvMuhzsZt47TNFgtRuw3TRBiQ7akvcEetg
Protocol Actions:
▶️ Alice deposits 100 USDC
▶️ Alice privately sends 50 to Bob
▶️ Bob receives in his main wallet
▶️ Bob withdraws 20 to a fresh 2nd wallet
So what’s actually visible on-chain now? ⤵️
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/oWsztd7DWAPnBE…
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/3F4oLYoyW13BRS…
(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.
