Private payments for the internet.

Accept Zcash in minutes. Non-custodial. Zero buyer data. No middleman.

START ACCEPTING ZEC HOW IT WORKS

WHY CIPHERPAY

01 // Non-Custodial

Your keys, your funds. CipherPay never holds your ZEC. Payments go directly to your shielded address.

02 // Fully Shielded

Every payment uses Zcash shielded transactions. No transparent addresses, no leaking metadata.

03 // Agentic Payments

Accept ZEC from AI agents via x402 and MPP protocols. Prepaid sessions for high-frequency access. One middleware.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. Zero middlemen.

1. Connect

Link your viewing key in under a minute

2. List

Build your product catalog from the dashboard

3. Sell

Share a link or integrate via API — get paid in ZEC

AI AGENTS

Private payments for the agent economy

Every AI agent payment on Base, Solana, or Polygon is a public record. Your agent's operational strategy — what APIs it calls, what data it buys, how often — is visible to anyone.

Zcash shielded payments make all of that invisible.
