ZAREV
Privacy is the foundation.
Building a future where financial privacy and freedom move together.
● INDEPENDENT RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
The ProjectIndependent privacy-focused blockchain project in active research and development.
ZAREV is an independent privacy-focused blockchain project in active research and development. Our vision includes a resilient network and future noncustodial cross-chain swaps. No mainnet, native coin or swap service has launched.
Understand ZAREV in three steps.
No wallet to install and no coin to buy. Here is the simplest way to get to know the project.

Built for financial privacy.
ZAREV is an independent, privacy-focused Proof-of-Work blockchain with its own native currency, ZREV. It is being designed so everyday payments can stay private, on a decentralized network that no single company controls.
Our vision is simple: low fees, and a future wallet with built-in Tor support to help protect your network privacy too. Financial privacy is not a feature we add later. It is the reason ZAREV exists.
ZAREV is under development. No mainnet has launched and ZREV does not exist yet. Everything here describes our goals, not a finished product.
Security before promises.
Our approach is grounded in established cryptographic research, reproducible engineering and independent security evaluation.

Noncustodial Swaps
Exploring future Bitcoin interoperability, subject to rigorous security testing.
How a future BTC ↔ ZREV atomic swap could work.
A simplified visual of a future non-custodial atomic swap between two independent blockchains, Bitcoin and ZAREV. It is a technical concept only: not implemented, not audited and not live. ZREV does not exist yet.

Straight answers.
What is ZAREV?
ZAREV is an independent privacy-focused blockchain project in active research and development. The vision includes a resilient network and future noncustodial cross-chain swaps.
Is ZAREV live? Can I buy a ZAREV coin?
No. No mainnet, native coin or swap service has launched, so there is nothing to buy, trade or swap today.
When will mainnet launch?
There is no launch date. Mainnet is conditional on security evidence, and roadmap milestones are development objectives, not guaranteed dates. ZAREV may never launch a mainnet, cryptocurrency, wallet or swap service.
Is a donation an investment?
No. Donations are voluntary, non-refundable contributions, not investments, token purchases or presales. Donors receive no ZAREV coins or tokens, ownership, governance rights, special privileges or future allocations, and no returns are offered or promised.
Are Bitcoin donations anonymous?
No. Bitcoin transfers are public and potentially traceable, and confirmed transfers are generally irreversible. Use Bitcoin mainnet only, and always verify the address before sending.
What could donations fund?
Optional donations may help fund research, documentation, security reviews and testing infrastructure.
Are donations tax-deductible?
No tax-deductibility or tax-exempt status is claimed.
