Android beta live · iOS coming soon

The Zapp beta is live on Android

Zapp is a peer-to-peer encrypted messenger with a shielded, non-custodial Zcash wallet built in: no servers, no phone number, no sign-up, plus a no-KYC offramp to local currency in select countries. The Android beta is running as invite-only internal testing on Google Play; iOS is on the way.

Android beta is live

Zapp for Android is in invite-only internal testing on Google Play: a full shielded ZEC wallet with end-to-end encrypted chat, in-chat payments, and a no-KYC offramp built in. Share photos and your location in conversations, no phone number needed. Enter your email and we'll send you a tester invite.

Use the same email as your Google Play account. Invites are sent to that address and only work for the matching Google account.

How in-chat ZEC payments work

Payments run on the shielded ZEC wallet built into the app. No external wallet to connect.

Open a conversation

Start or open a chat with any contact in Zapp. Your conversations are end-to-end encrypted.

Tap the payment icon and select amount

Inside the chat thread, tap the ZEC payment button. Enter the amount you want to send from the wallet built into the app.

ZEC sent, inside the chat

The transaction completes without leaving the conversation. Your contact sees the payment in the thread. Shielded by default.

Privacy by design

✓End-to-end encrypted conversations
✓No phone number required to sign up
✓Shielded ZEC transactions by default: amount and recipient not on a public ledger
✓No message metadata sold or shared

Pay any UPI QR with ZEC

The offramp is live in the beta today. Scan any UPI QR code or enter a UPI ID, and Zapp turns shielded ZEC into rupees on the spot: the swap runs through NEAR Intents and a verified peer on the P2P.me protocol settles the payment over UPI, secured by on-chain escrow.

No exchange account, no KYC, no paperwork. Every order runs through a fresh wallet, so the payout carries no link to your balance or history. India today, with more countries and payment rails on the way.
