Zec Bit is an NFT project and a planned private NFT marketplace built on Zcash Shielded Assets (ZSA). Its core design ensures that asset issuance, supply, and provenance are publicly verifiable on-chain, while holder identities, balances, and transfer history remain private through Zcash's shielded address model. The project includes components such as the Genesis collection, the ZMD-1 metadata specification, an indexer, a registry, Mint Studio, and a non-custodial trading architecture. Some components are already live or being tested on the ZSA development network, while full native mainnet support depends on the future activation of ZSA on Zcash mainnet.

About Zec Bit
Zec Bit is an NFT project built on the Zcash blockchain, focusing on private NFTs using Zcash's Shielded Assets (ZSA). Its core business includes NFT minting, trading, and collection, with a planned marketplace. The key differentiator is privacy: while standard NFTs are fully public, Zec Bit leverages Zcash's shielded addresses to keep ownership and transfer history confidential, while still maintaining public verifiability of asset supply and provenance. This addresses the market pain point of privacy leakage in traditional NFTs, where collectors' identities and transaction patterns are exposed. Over the past six months (March to September 2026), the project has conducted whitelist campaigns, airdrop events, and testnet minting activities. It has also released a mint studio and indexer components on the Zcash testnet, with mainnet support pending the full activation of ZSA. The project has gained attention through community tasks and social media engagement, though its mainnet launch is still in progress.
Over the past six months (Mar 5 – Sep 5, 2026), Zec Bit has made significant progress. The project activated the ZSA (Shielded Assets) protocol on Zcash mainnet, enabling private NFT issuance and trading. The platform launched its Genesis collection (3,333 NFTs) with free minting and 0% royalties, fully leveraging Zcash's shielded addresses (u1) for privacy. Key milestones include the release of the ZMD-1 metadata standard, a decentralized indexer, and a non-custodial trading architecture. The team also completed a public lottery for allowlist spots, using future Zcash block hashes for verifiable randomness. Looking ahead, the roadmap focuses on expanding the NFT ecosystem, integrating cross-chain bridges, and enhancing the Mint Studio for creators. The project aims to become the leading privacy-preserving NFT marketplace on Zcash, with mainnet support for ZSA expected to fully mature by Q4 2026.
