Private money onchain, without the jargon wall. Start here.

What is Gloam?

Gloam is the privacy layer for onchain finance, live on Robinhood Chain and Tempo. You put assets into a shared vault (“shield”), pay privately inside the vault, and cash out with a real proof. Goal: what you hold and how much you move stays private, instead of sitting in the open like a normal public wallet.

Right now everything is testnet, play money, development proving keys. No real dollars.

One picture

Your wallet

Open

Anyone can see the balance if they know the address.

Gloam pool

Shielded

Money is in the shared vault. You hold a private note that proves it's yours.

After unshield

Open again

Exit is public on purpose, money leaves the vault back to a wallet.

Full walkthrough: Testnet guide.

Open /app, connect a wallet, and pick a network (Robinhood Chain or Tempo).
Shield a tiny amount of testnet funds.
Move to pay a tag or cash out — a browser proof settles, never the amount.

What those buttons mean

Shield

Deposit into the Gloam vault. Your wallet balance goes down; the vault holds the asset.

Private send

Send inside the vault to a receive tag. The sender and amount stay sealed.

Cash out

Unshield to a public balance with a real browser proof. Proofs run in your browser.
