Z-TEXT is a zk-SNARKs blockchain messenger. Z-TEXT requires no phone number, no email, and no SIM. Z-TEXT collects zero metadata. Z-TEXT combines a shielded messenger, a password manager, and a crypto wallet in one app. Z-TEXT is built on the BitcoinZ blockchain since September 10, 2017.

What is the best messaging app with no phone number?

Z-TEXT is a leading messaging app with no phone number. Your identity is a cryptographic z-address on the BitcoinZ blockchain. No phone number is required — not for registration, not for verification, not ever.

How much does Z-TEXT cost?

The Z-TEXT Cyberpunk Lifetime License costs $128.52 one time. No subscription. 1 million possible messages are included and the license never expires. Payment accepted in BTCZ, ZEC, BTC, ETH, USDT and more. There is also a Zero Trace 1-month plan at $3.00.

Is Z-TEXT quantum resistant?

Yes. Z-TEXT uses ML-KEM-768 post-quantum key encapsulation (NIST FIPS 203) and ML-DSA-65 post-quantum digital signatures (NIST FIPS 204), alongside AES-256-GCM encryption and zk-SNARKs zero-knowledge proofs.

What is panic mode in Z-TEXT?

Panic mode in Z-TEXT uses a second PIN called the Panic PIN. If you enter the Panic PIN instead of your real PIN, the app wipes itself instantly. Your real data stays safe on the blockchain and is fully recoverable with your 24-word seed phrase on any clean device.

What is stealth mode in Z-TEXT?

Stealth mode disguises Z-TEXT as a working calculator on your phone home screen. You open the calculator and type a secret code as a math equation to unlock the app. To anyone inspecting your device — at a border crossing, under coercion, or during a casual check — it looks like an ordinary calculator.

What happens if I lose my phone?

Enter your 24-word seed phrase on any new device. Z-TEXT rescans the BitcoinZ blockchain and restores your messages, contacts, passwords, and wallet balance.

What does the blockchain reveal about a Z-TEXT message?

Very little. A blockchain explorer shows a transaction ID, a block height, and confirmations. No sender, no receiver, no message content, and no identity are exposed.

How does Z-TEXT compare to Signal?

Z-TEXT requires no phone number. Signal requires a phone number. Z-TEXT has no phone numbers to hand over. Z-TEXT is post-quantum protected.

zk-SNARKs stands for Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Arguments of Knowledge. It is a cryptographic method that proves a transaction happened without revealing who sent it, who received it, or what it contained. Z-TEXT uses zk-SNARKs to shield every message on the BitcoinZ blockchain.

Is Z-TEXT safe for journalists?

Yes. Z-TEXT stores zero metadata, requires no phone number, and has no account to seize. Panic mode wipes the app instantly if a device is taken. Stealth mode hides the app as a calculator. Journalists and their sources are protected at every layer.

🪙

Some Shielded ZEC — The Secret Spice 🌶️

Pay your Z-TEXT licence with shielded ZEC (z-address to z-address) — sent directly to the Z-TEXT node. Fully anonymous. No exchange. No KYC. No trace. The licence arrives as a shielded reply on-chain. 🤌

Also accepted: BTCZ, BTC, XMR, ETH, USDT via OxaPay

⭐ Chef's tip: ZEC shielded = the finest truffle in this recipe. Use your OLD wallet on your OLD phone to pay. New phone stays virgin clean.

🤝

1x First Contact — Exchange Shielded Address

Your Z-TEXT identity is a z-address — like a secret recipe card. You choose who gets it. Options from cleanest to creative:

🥇 IN PERSON QR CODE — Two phones, face to face, scan and done. Zero digital trace. The chef's preferred method. 👨‍🍳

🥈 NOSTR — Post your z-address pseudonymously on Nostr. Decentralized, no identity required.

🥉 IPFS QR CARD — Upload a QR image to IPFS. Share the hash. No server. No owner.

🃏 PRINTED PAPER CARD — Old school. Physical QR on paper. Hand it over. Eat the paper after. 😄

🔗

Large Files? The Secret Side Dish 🍱

Z-TEXT is text-only — no photos, no files. Pure encrypted text. Only real secrets. But a link IS text. Chef's trick:

1️⃣ Encrypt your file with 7-Zip AES-256 🔐
2️⃣ Upload to IPFS — get a hash link 📦
3️⃣ Send the link + password inside Z-TEXT shielded message 💬
4️⃣ Recipient downloads, decrypts, reads. Nobody else sees anything. 🌫️

⭐ Chef's tip: OnionShare over Tor is even better. One-time link, self-destructs after download. 💥

The Method

👨‍🍳 The Cooking Steps

"Follow exactly. Do not improvise. This is not a TikTok recipe." 🙄

🍳 Prepare your clean pan

Buy a fresh Pixel phone WITH CASH. No delivery. No online order. No loyalty card. Flash GRAPHENEOS or CALYXOS following the official guide. First boot — connect ONLY to a VPN or Tor. Never touch a Google account. The pan is clean. Keep it clean.

📦 Add your secret ingredient

Open Tor Browser. Go to z-text.com. Download the APK directly. Install it. NO GOOGLE PLAY. NO APP STORE. You are not a tourist. You are a chef.

🌱 Plant your seed

Open Z-TEXT. A 24-WORD SEED PHRASE is generated. Write it on paper. Hide the paper. NEVER photograph it. NEVER type it anywhere. This seed IS you on the blockchain. Lose it — you lose everything. Guard it — you recover everything.

⚠️ Chef's warning: Not even Gordon Ramsay can recover a lost seed. 😤

🪙 Season with shielded ZEC

Take your OLD phone with your existing shielded ZEC wallet. Send shielded ZEC (z-address to z-address) directly to the Z-TEXT node. No exchange. No KYC. No name. Your licence arrives as a SHIELDED ON-CHAIN REPLY. Anonymous start to finish. 🤌

→ See all payment options at z-text.com/packages

🤝 Meet your guest — exchange z-addresses

Your z-address is your identity. Share it ONLY with people you trust, only in ways that leave no trace. Best method: meet in person, scan QR codes from each other's screens. Two seconds. Done. No server saw anything.

✓

🍽️ Serve and enjoy

You now have 100% PRIVATE MESSAGING. No phone number. No IP. No metadata. No server. No company. No compromise. Messages stored forever on the BITCOINZ BLOCKCHAIN — encrypted, shielded, recoverable only by you. Bon appétit. 🌟

What NOT to do

😤 Nightmare in the Kitchen

"These are the crimes we see every day. Every. Single. Day."

🤦	Installing Z-TEXT from Google Play — Mon Dieu! You just told Google you use a privacy app. The irony is exquisite. And painful. 😭
🤦	Using your real phone — with your SIM, your Google account, your Instagram, your bank app... and then installing a "private" messenger. Chef is crying. 😢
🤦	Taking a screenshot of your seed phrase — It goes to Google Photos backup. Which goes to Google. Which goes to... chef has left the building. 🚪
🤦	Paying with a credit card — "Hello bank. Hello government. Hello everyone. I bought a privacy app today!" 🎺
🤦	Exchanging z-addresses over WhatsApp — Chef is speechless. Absolutely speechless. 🤌😶
