Private money on Robinhood Chain, without the jargon wall. Start here.
What is Gloam?
Gloam is an app on Robinhood Chain where you can put assets into a shared vault (“shield”), pay privately inside the vault, trade privately (size privacy on by default), and cash out with a real proof. Goal: stocks and memes can sit, move, and trade more privately than a normal public wallet.
Right now everything is testnet, play money, development proving keys. No real dollars.

Shielded
Money is in the shared vault. You hold a private note that proves it's yours.
After unshield
Open again
Exit is public on purpose, money leaves the vault back to a wallet.
