How It Works
The technical architecture bridging private Zcash and programmable execution.
1. The Funding Flow
Funding your agent is a multi-step process that ensures capital is securely converted from shielded ZEC to actionable USDG on Robinhood Chain.
Success Path: You generate a funding intent and receive a unique unified address. You send shielded ZEC to this address. Once observed and confirmed, the system converts the ZEC to USDG and funds the agent's smart wallet on Robinhood Chain.
Exception States: Funding intents can expire (expired) if not paid within the window. Payments that fall short are marked underpaid and require top-up, while excess payments are overpaid but credited. Any technical failures fall to failed.
2. Settlement & Conversion
ZECPilot does not use a direct decentralized bridge, as none exist between shielded Zcash and Robinhood Chain with adequate liquidity. Instead, settlement occurs via exchange conversion. The received ZEC is routed to an exchange, liquidated for stablecoins, and bridged as USDG to the destination chain.
3. Agent Wallets (ERC-4337)
Your agents do not hold raw private keys for Externally Owned Accounts (EOAs). Every agent is deployed as an ERC-4337 smart contract account.
- Scoped Execution: Agents sign UserOperations, not raw transactions.
- Server-Side Enforcement: The bundler/paymaster infrastructure intercepts requests and enforces your predefined policies (daily limits, allowed addresses) before submitting to the network.
- No Gas Griefing: Agents use sponsored transactions via a paymaster, simplifying their logic and ensuring they don't run out of native gas tokens.
4. Privacy Model
We adhere to strict honesty regarding privacy guarantees. Shielded ZEC transactions ensure your initial funding—and therefore your wealth origin—remains entirely opaque on the Zcash network.
However, execution on Robinhood Chain is fundamentally public. Your agent's wallet address, the destinations it interacts with, and the exact amounts transferred are visible to anyone.
While the two networks are separate, behavioral analysis (matching deposit amounts and timing with agent deployment) can potentially link your shielded funding to your agent's public activity.
