Why ZCash Wallet?

ZCash Wallet is a fast-syncing, shielded-by-default ZCash wallet built from the ground-up for security and privacy. Shielding transactions is not enough to preserve privacy due to meta-data analysis. That is why the wallet routes traffic over the Tor onion network to reduce meta-data and further preserve privacy.

ZCash Wallet is more than just a ZEC wallet. It also supports hundreds of other cryptocurrencies such as Monero, Bitcoin, etc. You can also exchange one cryptocurrency for another within the wallet.

ZCash Wallet Features

Tor Onion Routing

Shielding + Tor ensures maximum level of privacy. Shielding is not enough to preserve privacy because metadata leaks can compromise privacy. ZCash Wallet routes all traffic over Tor to reduce metadata leaks and improve privacy.

Fast Syncing

ZCash Wallet syncs transactions very fast with the network. Syncing can be done in minutes while some other wallets may take days. Syncing performance is always being improved since it is important to user experience.

Unified Addresses + Shielding

Unified, orchard, sapling, and transparent addresses have full support. You can receive and send funds from any of these transaction types. Shielding by default ensures you always send funds from shielded pools.

General Wallet Features

ZCash Wallet also supports these other great features across all the different cryptocurrency wallets.

Multi-Currency
