Confidential Tokens Are Now Live in Zerion Wallet

Zerion Wallet now natively supports confidential tokens powered by the Zama Protocol.

Zerion is a self-custodial wallet and portfolio platform for DeFi, giving users one place to manage tokens and positions across multiple networks.

With this integration, confidential tokens are now available to Zerion’s users on Ethereum, bringing native confidentiality to one of DeFi’s most widely used wallets.

This collaboration is another step for Zama toward making confidential assets work across the wallets, applications, and DeFi infrastructure that onchain assets already use today.

Confidential assets, directly in Zerion wallet

Users holding confidential tokens powered by the Zama Protocol can now see their positions directly in Zerion wallet, alongside their public holdings.

Addresses and transactions remain visible on Ethereum, while confidential balances stay encrypted onchain. When users choose to reveal a balance, they authorize access through a signed, time-bounded permit. The decrypted amount is visible only to them. Custody remains unchanged, and the permit does not give Zerion permanent access to the balance.

Built on existing infrastructure

Zerion chose the Zama Protocol because it brings confidentiality directly to existing public blockchains, without requiring a new L1, L2, or separate network. Confidential assets can stay connected to the existing DeFi ecosystem, with full compliance and verifiability.

The integration is built on ERC-7984, the open standard for confidential tokens. ERC-7984 enables encrypted balances and transfers while keeping tokens programmable on public blockchains, giving wallets, applications, custodians, and financial platforms a common way to support confidential assets. The Zama Protocol also supports selective disclosure via Access Control List (ACL), so confidential assets can meet the compliance requirements of real-world finance.

The confidential DeFi stack

Wallet support is one part of a broader confidential DeFi ecosystem already live onchain. Today, Zama's Confidential DeFi ecosystem spans 16 curated yield vaults across 5 institutional curators and 5 assets: USDC, USDT, AUSD, WBTC, and tGBP. All 16 vaults are deployed on Morpho and available today through the Zama App.

These vaults use existing DeFi infrastructure. For example, Steakhouse Confidential Prime USDC uses the same parameters, credit strategy, and collateral as Steakhouse Prime USDC on Morpho. The only difference is that it accepts cUSDC as the deposit asset instead of USDC.

The goal is to make confidential tokens as usable and accessible as regular tokens. They should work across the wallets, applications, and infrastructure users already rely on, while keeping balances and transactions confidential by default.

"Every position a self-custodial wallet user holds is public by default. That's one of the reasons people are reluctant to keep large amounts onchain. Zama's confidentiality layer plugs into vaults people already use rather than asking them to move to a new chain. A wallet can support this natively with minimum friction, and why these vaults are coming to Zerion in the weeks ahead." — Evgeny Yurtaev, Co-founder and CEO of Zerion

Next, Zerion will bring the full confidential vault experience into the wallet, from discovering and depositing into Zama’s confidential vaults to managing and tracking positions and yields confidentially, alongside the rest of the portfolio.
