Today, zERC20 expands its privacy infrastructure support to JPYC with the launch of zJPYC on Polygon. This enables private and programmable transfers of Japanese yen-denominated value on public blockchain networks.

Through this integration, users can wrap JPYC into zJPYC, send it via zERC20, and allow recipients to redeem zJPYC back into JPYC. This flow breaks the on-chain link between sender and recipient while maintaining full interoperability with existing EVM infrastructure.

Japan has emerged as one of the world's most advanced regulatory environments for digital money and stablecoins, and JPYC has become one of the most widely recognized yen-denominated digital assets within the country's crypto ecosystem. Since launch, JPYC has surpassed ¥2.6 billion in cumulative issuance and established itself as an important payment layer for Japanese users entering on-chain finance.

Until now, privacy-preserving infrastructure for yen-denominated assets has remained largely unavailable. zJPYC changes that.

How Privacy Works in zERC20

Privacy in zERC20 is achieved not through wrapping alone, but through a three-step cycle:

Wrap: Users wrap JPYC into zJPYC at a 1:1 ratio.

Send: Users privately transfer zJPYC to recipients through the zERC20 protocol.

Redeem: Recipients redeem zJPYC back into JPYC.

What zJPYC on Polygon Unlocks

Private Transfers

Move yen-denominated value without revealing counterparties on-chain when sending and redeeming through zERC20.

Private Yen Exposure

Hold Japanese yen on-chain and gain exposure to one of the world's most important currencies while preserving privacy as value moves between parties. This unlocks new use cases for FX, hedging, and treasury management.

Composable Privacy

Developers can directly integrate private yen payments into wallets, commerce flows, AI agents, DeFi applications, and consumer-facing experiences.

Privacy should be a fundamental right built into every transaction. Whether for everyday spending, subscriptions, payroll, creator payments, or treasury operations, privacy matters.

This launch represents another step toward making privacy a native feature of stablecoins and bringing Japanese yen liquidity into the next generation of on-chain applications.
