Simple summary for non-tech people:The
SHADOW project (account
@hoodshadowrh) lets you
prove that you hold a minimum amount of private cryptocurrency (Zcash/ZEC or Monero/XMR) without revealing your exact balance, wallet address, transaction history, or private keys.
Easy example:
You want to show someone “I have at least X amount of private coins” (for example, for a loan, partnership, or use on Robinhood Chain), but you
don’t want them to know exactly how much you have or see your wallet.
→ SHADOW creates a shareable digital “certificate” (a proof) in the form of a file, link, or QR code.
The other person can verify the certificate and confirm you meet the threshold, while your private details stay hidden.
Key points:Your coins
never leave your wallet.
It uses cryptography (zero-knowledge / threshold proofs) to keep everything private.
You can link the proof to a Robinhood Chain account to make sharing and verification easier.
In short:
Prove “I have enough money” while keeping the exact amount and your wallet completely private.
