Your Token → NEAR Intents → Shielded ZEC → Creator

WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR TIP

Your Token → NEAR Intents Deposit Address → ZEC Shielded Address

NO TIPZ smart contracts — direct transfers only.
Market makers compete for the best swap rate.
Auto-refund if swap fails (rare, but handled).
Zero Platform Fees

No TIPZ platform fee. Cross-chain swap spread (~3-4% on a $5 tip) is embedded in your quote rate.

Atomic Execution

Swap completes fully or refunds automatically. No stuck funds.

PRIVACY BREAKDOWN

There are two ways to tip on TIPZ, with different privacy levels. Here's an honest breakdown.

DIRECT ZEC TIPS (VIA ZASHI OR ZODL)
FULL PRIVACY
  • Shielded transactions encrypt sender, receiver, and amount on-chain
  • No record on any explorer — not Zcash, not NEAR, not anywhere
  • Even TIPZ has zero visibility into these transactions
  • The strongest privacy guarantee in crypto
CROSS-CHAIN TIPS (ETH, SOL, USDC, ETC.)
LIMITED PRIVACY
VISIBLE ON SOURCE CHAIN
  • Your deposit transaction
  • That you sent to a NEAR Intents address
  • The token type and amount you deposited
VISIBLE ON NEAR
  • The destination shielded address
  • The ZEC amount
  • The link between your wallet and the creator's address
PRIVATE (ZCASH SHIELDED)
  • Creator's total wallet balance
  • What creator does with the ZEC after receiving
  • Direct ZEC tips (these never touch NEAR)

Cross-chain tips are routed through NEAR Intents. The full transaction is public on NEAR's explorer. For full privacy, tip directly with ZEC.

For maximum privacy, tip directly with shielded ZEC using Zashi. Zero public footprint. Zero trace.

QUESTIONS

How long does delivery take?

5-10 minutes after your wallet confirms. You can close the page—we track it for you.

What if the swap fails?

Rare, but handled. Your original funds auto-return to your wallet within minutes.

Are there fees?

Zero TIPZ platform fees. The cross-chain swap includes a ~3-4% spread (on a $5 tip, ~$0.15-0.17) embedded in the exchange rate. No hidden charges.

Do I need a Zcash wallet to tip?

No. Use your existing ETH/SOL/USDC wallet. Only creators need Zcash.
