Hi Zcash Community,
My name is Charles Guillemet, CTO at Ledger. As a strong advocate for privacy, I want to give the Zcash community the recognition and attention it truly deserves.
Ledger devices have supported Zcash for years, thanks to third-party app development on our open platform. However, one key element has been missing: easy access to Zcash’s shielded transactions within the Ledger ecosystem.
We’ve heard your requests and understand the current limitations. To address this, Ledger is taking the initiative to upgrade the Zcash app and Ledger Live support, bringing full support for shielded transactions directly into Ledger Live.
Soon, you’ll be able to:
- Sign shielded ZEC transactions with the security of your Ledger device.
- Manage shielded ZEC seamlessly within Ledger Live.
This update will offer the best in class way to manage your shielded Zcash, giving Zcash users the highest level of security and privacy. It will also eliminate the need for third-party wallets to access this essential functionality. We believe this will be a significant step forward for Zcash users in the Ledger community and a meaningful boost to Zcash adoption overall.
We’re preparing a detailed proposal and will share it with you soon.
Your feedback and support are invaluable as we work to bring the full privacy features of Zcash to your Ledger device, natively and effortlessly within Ledger Live.
More updates coming soon
