Hi everyone, and happy new year!

Here is a status update on Zcash Shielded support in Ledger Wallet and Ledger devices.

Zcash Device App

  • We are currently migrating the Zcash Ledger device app to Rust in order to be iso with the previous implementation.

  • This migration is a prerequisite before implementing shielded support on top of it.

  • Progress so far: ~60% completed, with existing features being re-implemented first to ensure full parity and security.

Ledger Wallet (Desktop)

  • Actively working on account synchronization flows for shielded balances.

  • Development currently relies on a local zaino node to validate and iterate on the end-to-end synchronization logic.

Zcash Swap (Ledger Live)

  • In parallel with the shielded support development, we have also been working on Ledger Live Swap support for Zcash.

  • This work is progressing well, and ZEC Swap in Ledger Wallet should be enabled before the end of January, pending final testing.

Happy to answer any questions or provide further updates if needed.
