02 Notes

A note that does not speak.

Value moves as a sealed object. The machine can run against it. The public index can only say that a seal occurred.

Shielded notes

A note is not a row in a table. It is a private amount, a memo you chose, and a destination that looks like an address, zvm1, without exposing the path it took.

What the chain may print

01

A hash

The note’s public face is a digest. It is enough to prove inclusion. It is not enough to read the amount.

02

A height

The block that closed. Time, parent, the list of hashes. No transcript of the runtime.

03

A silence

Everything else stays with the key that can open the note. That is the point of Zelum.

[003] Two keys, one halo : transfer without a story

On the local testnet you can hold a key, receive a faucet note, and send one onward. The explorer will show the seal. It will not invent a dashboard around it.

Hold a note on this machine.
