The Manifesto

To those who believe privacy is a freedom, and live by it.

There are details that separate those who look from those who see. The number of kings in this house. The number of kings in the sets that matter most. Look closely; the court will notice.

7,711 masked kings, 26 by 26 pixels, minted on Zcash. Payments move through the shielded pool with your ticket in the memo; no wallet is ever connected. Every image is hashed before the mint and written to the chain, so nothing can be swapped after.

Every face is public. Every king is not.

A note from the founders

If this reaches the people it should, House of Zaldwin is more than a mint.

Zcash is preparing Shielded Assets (ZIP 226 and 227): tokens that live inside the shielded pool, with the same privacy as ZEC itself. The day that upgrade activates on mainnet, every NFT becomes a native shielded asset: claimed 1:1 from the ledger, held in your own wallet, sent and traded without an escrow, a bridge or a name attached to it. The market moves on-chain with it, and the NFTs end up where the masks always pointed: owned in the open, by no one you can see.
