Kakure
A private real-time prediction market on Zcash. The prices are public; you aren't.
Kakure lets you call crypto prices up or down, from one minute to a day, with private chips from a shielded Zcash deposit. Prices move live. Your trades don't lead back to you.
You deposit once from your own Zcash wallet by scanning a QR code. The deposit becomes chips on your device, blind-signed by the mint, so it can't tell which deposit paid for which trade. You trade those chips against the house, which prices every Window by a public formula from live exchange prices. Close early at the live price, set a trailing stop, or let it ride. Winnings come back as fresh chips; withdraw them to any shielded address.
There is no account and no sign-in. The operator sees trades, never who made them.

What's live
- Testnet runs now, with test coins (TAZ) that have no value: BTC, ETH, SOL, ZEC, XRP and DOGE, in Windows of 1, 2, 5 and 15 minutes, 1 and 4 hours, and a day. Up or Down, parlays of two or three Windows, and the Range and Moonshot games on the same Windows.
- Mainnet has its operator key built into the app. Trading opens there when the operator publishes mainnet's trading details; until then the app keeps prices live and says trading isn't published.
- The web app installs from your browser on any phone or computer. The Android app was built for the earlier pool markets and is paused; there is no iPhone app yet.
