What is Gleyo?
Gleyo is a Zcash-native community growth platform designed to help communities onboard and retain contributors through quests, engagement workflows, and ZEC rewards.
Instead of requiring newcomers to understand wallets and shielded transactions before participating, Gleyo allows communities to reward contributors in shielded ZEC as they participate.
What has shipped
- Gleyo launched on Zcash mainnet on July 14, 2026
- 38+ weekly active users in closed beta
- Real mainnet ZEC deposits, quest rewards, and shielded withdrawals
- Multi-token funding through USDT/USDC → ZEC conversion
- Production withdrawal architecture designed to safely handle concurrent community activity
- Full end-to-end compatibility with the Ironwood network upgrade
- Contributed an upstream fix to Nozy Wallet (PR #180) that restored Ironwood pool deposit compatibility
- Continued development and ecosystem testing following the ZecHub Hackathon
Ecosystem impact
Gleyo has been tested by members of the Zcash ecosystem, including Zcash Nigeria, ZecForge, and PGPZ, with ongoing discussions around using Gleyo for community and ambassador programs.
The project also contributes directly to the brGleyo GitHub: https://github.com/gilmorre/gleyo-Zechub-oader Zcash ecosystem through its integration with Nozy Wallet and upstream technical contributions.
