Our submission for the @zksnarks_ #Zechathon VeilX: Private payments for the social internet on @Zcash. The social internet has a payment problem. Creators build audiences but lack simple, privacy-focused ways to receive support. Freelancers need to request payments without putting their financial activity on public display. Communities need better ways to exchange value online. On transparent blockchains, transaction details can expose financial relationships, payment amounts, and activity that users may prefer to keep private. VeilX is building a better way. VeilX brings private Zcash payments into social interactions, giving creators, freelancers, and communities a way to tip, invoice, and request payments. What you can do with VeilX: → Private tipping: Send zcash:native tips to support creators through a social payment experience designed around privacy. → Shareable invoice links: Generate payment links for clients, customers, and communities without requiring users to publicly share their wallet balances or financial history. → Payment requests: Make requesting zcash:native a natural part of getting paid online. Built on Zcash's privacy technology. VeilX is designed around Zcash's shielded payment ecosystem, incorporating key components of its payment infrastructure: 🔐 Orchard shielded pool: Zcash's Orchard protocol provides shielded transactions that protect transaction amounts and sender/recipient information when used within the shielded pool. 🔗 ZIP-321 payment URIs: Standardised payment request URIs enable wallet-compatible payment links and QR codes, connecting VeilX's social payment experience with Zcash wallets. 🛡️ Shielded addresses and payout flows: VeilX incorporates shielded-address workflows and is developing its shielded payout infrastructure to improve financial privacy across the payment lifecycle. Our focus is not simply putting a payment button on the social internet. It's making privacy-focused digital money practical for the way people create, work, and connect. Less exposure. More control. Zcash, made social. 🔗 Live demo: veilxapp.onrender.com/ 💻 GitHub: github.com/Expat-Q/VeilX
