To the Zcash community:
I know CEXs are making it a nightmare to buy $ZEC. Delistings, frozen withdrawals, and invasive KYC are choking your liquidity.
Ironically, the solution to your problem is on Ethereum.
Specifically, Base Layer 2.
Here is how the Ethereum ecosystem can act as your private, non-KYC on-ramp. 🧵👇
The bottleneck is getting fiat into crypto without a trusted third party intermediary acting as a gatekeeper.
Ethereum has solved this with @zkp2p.
It allows you to on-ramp USD → USDC on Base using Venmo or Cash App.
• No additional KYC (beyond what you need for your fiat wallet)
• No centralized exchange
• Verifiable via Zero-Knowledge Proofs
You now have clean, private USDC on a high-speed L2.
Now, use Ethereum liquidity to exit to Zcash. Don't use a CEX. Use a non-KYC cross-chain swap tool like @SideShiftAI, @TrocadorApp, or @StealthEX_io.
• Swap: USDC (Base)
• Receive: ZEC (Mainnet)
Funds land in your Zcash wallet (like Zashi or Zingo).
If they land transparently, just hit "Auto-Shield".
@zkp2p @sideshiftai @TrocadorApp @StealthEX_io The future isn't "Chain vs. Chain", it's about composability, with Ethereum as the trust root.
Ethereum provides the permissionless entry (Base + ZKP2P).
Zcash provides the shielded exit.
You don't need a CEX account to own privacy coins anymore.
You just need Ethereum. 🛡️🦇
Need to cash out to pay bills?
The process works in reverse just as smoothly.
Swap ZEC → USDC (via SideShift/Trocador)
Bridge to Base
Off-ramp USDC → USD (via @zkp2p)
You post a "Sell" offer on ZKP2P, a peer pays your Venmo/Revolut, and the protocol releases the funds.
Complete round-trip privacy. 🔄
