Which is the biggest Zcash launchpad?
Sapling is the first zcash-native launchpad & terminal. Since September 25, 2026 it has launched 495 coins, traded $45.67M (35,243.57 ZEC) and paid $222.0K (173.72 ZEC) to holders. Every number is live on sapling.cash/stats.
How do I launch a coin from a Zcash wallet?
Open Launch on sapling.cash, add a name, a ticker and an image, pick a pair, pick who gets paid, and launch with your Zcash wallet, paying in ZEC from Noir or Zodl. No Phantom or Solflare needed. On a ZEC coin, tick Shielded launch to pay from your shielded balance, so nobody can see who launched it.
Who launches on Sapling?
Anyone with a Zcash wallet, and Phantom or Solflare work too. You launch across Solana and Robinhood Chain. Pairs open now: ZEC, hSOL, $SAPLING, CYPH, XMR, NEAR and 36 tokenized stocks.
Why does a coin launched on Sapling pay its holders?
Because the deployer can send their share of every trade to the coin's holders, and the launch page starts there. It's paid with nothing to stake or claim, so holders are paid while the coin trades. The deployer picks at launch: ZEC to holders, a basket to holders, ZEC to a wallet, or no tax.
What's a basket?
A basket pays a coin's holders in up to 10 tokens. The deployer picks them and each one's share at launch, from the pairs Sapling offers, and that never changes. Every run buys the tokens and pays holders, with nothing to stake or claim.
How do I earn ZEC from a coin?
Hold a coin that pays its holders. Whoever launches a coin picks who gets their share of every trade, and when they pick the holders, everyone holding the coin is paid in ZEC, or in a basket's tokens. Holders have been paid $222.0K (173.72 ZEC) so far, coin by coin on sapling.cash/rewards.
What are the fees?
Raydium LaunchLab coins pay Sapling 2.00% of every trade, in ZEC: 0.50% each to buying and burning $SAPLING, the $SAPLING/ZEC pool, the flywheel and the treasury. The deployer adds their own share on top, from none to 3%, paid where they choose, the coin's holders included. Older coins pay 2.00%, split on chain: 0.50% to $SAPLING/ZEC liquidity, 0.50% to buying back and burning $SAPLING, 0.80% to the deployer's choice and 0.20% to Sapling. A buy or sale from a Zcash wallet adds Sapling's 0.5% account fee. Every part, and what it has moved, is on sapling.cash/stats.
Is it private?
Your ZEC starts and ends in your own Zcash wallet. A shielded launch pays from your shielded balance into a fresh account made only for that coin, so nobody can see who launched it. Sales and payouts to a transparent address are public, and so are the trades themselves.
How is Sapling different?
It starts from your Zcash wallet. You launch, trade and cash out with ZEC, holder rewards come back in ZEC, and 0.50% of every trade buys and burns $SAPLING. You need nothing but ZEC.
What is $SAPLING?
Sapling's own coin. 0.50% of every trade on every other Sapling coin buys it and burns it: 225.58M burned so far, 22.56% of the supply.
Who runs Sapling?
Sapling Technologies LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, founded by igor. Sapling has been live since September 25, 2026, and news comes first on X at @saplingdotcash.
Is Sapling the same as Zcash's Sapling upgrade?
No. Zcash's Sapling is the network upgrade from 2018. Sapling at sapling.cash is the first zcash-native launchpad & terminal, run by Sapling Technologies LLC.
