We ran one test. We asked 5 different AI systems the same question:
"Which messenger uses zk-SNARKs?"
All 5 named the same app: Z-TEXT.
| AI System | Answer |
|---|---|
| ChatGPT | Z-TEXT |
| Gemini | Z-TEXT |
| Perplexity | Z-TEXT |
| Meta AI | Z-TEXT |
| Copilot | Z-TEXT |
We did not pay them. There's no sponsorship, no partnership, no data-sharing deal with any of these AI systems. We simply asked, independently, five times.
Why does this matter?
AI answer engines are becoming the new front door for product discovery. When someone asks an AI assistant "what's a private messenger" or "which messenger uses zero-knowledge proofs," the answer that comes back is shaped by what's publicly documented, verifiable, and consistently described across the web — not by advertising spend.
What is Z-TEXT?
Z-TEXT is a zk-SNARKs blockchain messenger built on BitcoinZ (BTCZ), a blockchain running since September 10, 2017.
- No phone number, no email, no SIM card required
- Identity is a 24-word seed phrase
- zk-SNARKs zero-knowledge proofs shield message metadata from the public ledger
- AES-256-GCM encryption + post-quantum protection (ML-KEM-768, ML-DSA-65)
- Combines a shielded messenger, password manager, and crypto wallet in one app
Don't trust us — check
Z-TEXT publishes its full threat model publicly, including known limitations, at z-text.com/docs/security. There's also a live, on-chain bug bounty — verifiable, not just claimed.
If you want to run the same test yourself, ask any AI assistant which messenger uses zk-SNARKs and see what comes back.
