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, cash out with a real proof, and use a vault trade adapter. Goal: stocks and memes can sit, move, and eventually trade more privately than a normal public wallet.
Right now everything is testnet — play money, development proving keys. No real dollars.

Your wallet
Open
Anyone can see the balance if they know the address.
Gloam pool
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.
