Glossary
Short definitions for the words these docs repeat. Not a tokenomics appendix.
Status: design. XEROPAY is being built. These pages describe intended behaviour. Nothing here is claimed as live mainnet. Details can change. See What's live.
- An encrypted unit of value in the shielded pool. The explorer does not read its amount, asset, or owner. Your spending key opens it.
- A public record that a note exists, without revealing its contents.
- A public record that a note has been spent, without revealing which note. Stops double-spends.
- A name people can pay. Each payment derives a fresh receiving address so the handle never maps to a running balance.
- The key that opens notes, signs spends, and issues viewing keys. Stays on your device.
- Read-only access, scoped in time and often in vault. You issue it. It cannot spend.
- A yes-or-no proof about the account (balance above X, held N months) without opening the notes.
- Where funds enter or leave. Screening and licensed ramps live here, not beside your notes.
- Exit to a named destination after checks. Not a mixer hop.
- A labelled bucket of notes — save, spend, invest — still shielded.
- A published set used so an exit can prove it is not joined to known-tainted deposits, without revealing which notes you spent.
- Intended path to submit proofs and cover gas so you do not hold a public gas token next to private funds.
- Intended utility token for tiers and fee discounts. Not the product. No contract on this site until live.
