Z Protocol Expands Privacy With Core

Ekaterina Bogatyreva

Z Protocol, a programmable privacy platform for autonomous applications, announced a partnership with Core Foundation, the organization behind the Core blockchain and Satoshi Plus consensus model. The collaboration focuses on expanding Satoshi Plus infrastructure and building a privacy layer powered by Zcash.

The platform uses a shielded pool model where balances are hidden and transactions pass through one-time stealth addresses. This structure prevents linking activity to user identities. Z also provides controlled execution environments, allowing users to define limits such as spending caps, time restrictions and contract access for automated agents.

The ecosystem includes integrated applications for trading, lending, stablecoins and staking. These services operate within a unified privacy framework designed for cross-application use.

The system is secured through a Zcash-based version of Satoshi Plus, enabling participation from miners, token holders and stakers. As part of the partnership, mechanisms such as transaction fee-based buybacks of CORE tokens and early access to token distributions are introduced for ecosystem participants.

The platform is expected to launch in the second quarter of 2026.
