Zephyr Protocol is a stablecoin system that integrates over-collateralization mechanisms with privacy features derived from Monero architecture. The protocol issues four native assets: ZEPH, a reserve coin; ZSD, a stablecoin pegged to USD; ZRS, equity shares in the reserve; and ZYS, shares that accrue yield from staked ZSD. The system combines the Djed stablecoin model with on-chain privacy and transaction untraceability. Core functionality relies on algorithmic over-collateralization to maintain stability while preserving transaction confidentiality.
