About Shieldz

Built by the team behind LeoKit, the open-source cross-chain swap aggregator that already powers LeoDex and the Shieldz wallet. Shieldz Payments is what happens when you take serious shielded-Zcash routing and wrap it in a Stripe-shaped API.

Why we built it

Crypto payment processors either don't have a privacy story (OpenNode, Coinbase Commerce) or they're self-hosted and Bitcoin-only (BTCPay). Shieldz gives you both: accept USDC/USDT across five chains, native Bitcoin, and shielded Zcash for real buyer privacy, with cross-chain swap routing (via LeoKit) so buyers can pay any coin and you still settle to one token, at your own wallet. Non-custodial, $0 platform fees, wrapped in a Stripe-shaped API. Nobody was doing that, so we did.

Who it's for

• Creators selling content, courses, subscriptions to audiences who care about not being on a card-network ledger
• VPN / privacy services whose customers expect to pay without revealing their payment graph
• Developers who want a 15-minute integration instead of a 3-week MSB compliance review
• Anyone who'd rather receive USDC at their own wallet than route money through a payment processor's balance

Who's behind it

Shieldz is built by Deniz Yanbollu (@dnzynbl) and the team behind LeoKit. Real, reachable people, not an anonymous panel. Wondering if it's safe? See Is Shieldz safe?
