I've been doing some DD into robinhood:0x6662060b16b61ba3f83bca6ccc796eb3acdf7777 on Robinhood Chain, and like most things lately, all roads lead back to robinhood:0xdcd885f5c60b3ad49f6d58718696417314e8724d. This project is 75 days old and they’ve been grinding the whole time. It was brought to my attention when they partnered with robinhood:0xdcd885f5c60b3ad49f6d58718696417314e8724d last week. 0x6662060b16b61ba3f83bca6ccc796eb3acdf7777 Zedkr already has an interesting idea in its own right: make the assets sitting in your wallet useful for buying things on Amazon and eBay, or cashing out through familiar payment apps. The GLOAM integration makes the shopping side more interesting to me. You can fund your Zedkr wallet through a private USDG payment, then use that money for a purchase. I can see the appeal because I’m the primary audience for this. Paying for something with crypto shouldn't automatically mean giving someone an easy starting point to trace where your money came from and everything else you do onchain. Anyone who's had people watching their wallets probably understands why that matters. Zedkr Shop can create a Gloam private receiving address, watch for incoming USDG payments, secure the payment inside Gloam, and generate the proof needed to withdraw it into your embedded shopping wallet. That last part is important because while the USDG becomes public again when it reaches the shopping wallet, where said funds originated from is obfuscated. Pair that with a separate drop-style delivery address and no one knows that YOU bought anything. Perfect for privacy focused individuals in today’s day and age of hyper surveillance. What's actually going on under the hood is pretty interesting so lets dive in: Gloam handles the private funding step, Para handles and provides the embedded Zedkr wallet, then Zedkr coordinates the quote, payment and bridging process, and SP3ND handles purchasing and fulfillment after the funds arrive as USDC on Solana. More specifically, here’s what Zedkr’s checkout code is doing: 1. Zedkr submits the product URLs, quantities and shipping information to its backend. 2. Checkout waits for a payment_ready response, handling quote review, shipping options and changes to the selected shipping method. 3. The backend returns the payable amount, which the frontend checks before continuing. 4. The payment flow passes the embedded-wallet identifiers, prepares the selected asset, starts a bridge request and polls its status. 5. It checks for USDC arriving on Solana, then requests payment of the SP3ND order. 6. It checks payment status and attempts to save the order record. That’s the flow visible in the application code. I verified the product lookup separately, but haven’t completed a funded checkout ourselves. The work here is making all these pieces useful together. Someone who just wants to buy something would have to manually work through several apps, chains and payment stages to get there, but with Zedkr it’s rolled up into a single, easy to use package. When actually testing the Zedkr, I found the product lookup returned a real item and pricing. The checkout code handles shipping choices, waits for a payable quote, monitors the bridge and checks payment status. The Gloam receiving and withdrawal logic is in this same public application bundle. This is also the kind of thing I wanted to see when digging into GLOAM: another application giving its privacy infrastructure a practical use. Private payments become more useful when people can bring them into something they already want to do. The other side to Zedkr is their cashout platform, Zedkr Cash. Zedkr Cash uses Peer, formerly ZKP2P, for settlement. Its application code connects Robinhood assets to Peer’s Base infrastructure through this flow: 1. Convert supported assets into USDG on Robinhood Chain, if needed. 2. Use Relay to bridge that value into USDC on Base. 3. Fund a Peer escrow deposit and make the cash-out order available to a counterparty willing to pay fiat. 4. The counterparty sends fiat through the selected payment service. 5. A verifier checks the payment evidence. 6. The contracts release the escrowed crypto when the required verification succeeds. 7. The frontend requests a fiat estimate and submits the payment method, recipient details, currency and wallet identifiers to Zedkr’s backend. It expects a bridge transaction hash, USDC amount and Peer deposit ID in return. The initial status is awaiting-buyer, which means the order has been initiated, but that the fiat has not yet arrived. Because Peer is a Base based platform, I checked how Zedkr connects the two networks: its bridge code uses Relay to move value from USDG on Robinhood Chain into USDC on Base, where Peer handles settlement. I also matched the bundled SDK’s production addresses for EscrowV2, OrchestratorV3 and UnifiedPaymentVerifierV3 against Peer’s official deployment records and confirmed that all three have deployed code on Base. Peer supplies the escrow, settlement coordination and payment-verification infrastructure, including checks against reusing payment evidence. Did I mention you can also load your Zedkr/Peer wallet with GLOAM, and use those funds to book hotels, buy gift cards, cards on Collector Crypt and get cashback in robinhood:0x6662060b16b61ba3f83bca6ccc796eb3acdf7777 on it all? Guys you can send private funds, book travel, convert those funds to gift cards to buy whatever you want, or off ramp your private funds to Zelle or other cash out options. It’s absolutely bonkers what this collaboration has unlocked. Then there's robinhood:0x6662060b16b61ba3f83bca6ccc796eb3acdf7777 itself. The token connects to the products through the fee’s the platform produces. Holders are awarded with cashback and stock-token rewards for holding the token. I verified that stock tokens have actually been distributed to holders, and that ZED trading taxes have funded the reward wallet. The longer-term thesis is that repeat shopping and cash-out activity contributes fees as well. I’ve gotten ~$40 in a few days from holding my positions, in low volume while the token is just getting started. I put the Zedkr/Gloam integration through a funded test, using private USDG to fund an Amazon checkout for a $7.99 middle finger desk figurine for a boss I strongly….. dislike. Because the payment was funded by private, shielded USDG from my robinhood:0xdcd885f5c60b3ad49f6d58718696417314e8724d wallet, and the address I shipped to was not my own, there's no way it can be can linked back to me. On that last note, there was a hiccup when I was testing the transfer from GLOAM to Zedkr. I sent their developer my logs and he quickly found and fixed the issue. This is the type of response I love to see when testing out new tech. I like the direction here. Zedkr has many, many practical use cases, and GLOAM adds a whole new dimension by offering a private way to fund it.
