Live on Zcash mainnet · Beta opening 2026

Ride private. Earn shielded.

Pedalshield pays you ZEC for real bike rides — and your route never leaves your phone. Not encrypted-and-uploaded. Never uploaded.

The problem

Your fitness app is a surveillance device with a leaderboard.

Heatmaps have exposed military bases, stalking victims, and people's home addresses. The deal was rewards for data. We think that deal is robbery — so we built the opposite.

How it works

Three steps. Zero route data leaves your phone.

1

Ride

GPS and motion sensors track your ride locally, right on your device.

2

Verify on-device

An anti-cheat engine scores the ride on your phone. Only the distance claim leaves the device — never the route. Enforced by a unit test, not a privacy policy.

3

Get paid, shielded

An autonomous treasury pays shielded ZEC straight to your wallet. No operator approves it. No one watches it.

Proof, not promises

Already paying real riders, automatically, on mainnet.

Every claim maps to a transaction you can look up yourself on the Zcash block explorer.

What we won't pretend

Honest by design.

Privacy is the product, not yield. Here's what's true today — and what isn't yet.
