I’m incredibly excited to announce that shielded ZEC is now supported in the Brave browser. ECC’s post: [https://x.com/ElectricCoinCo/status/1907469768174743637](https://x.com/ElectricCoinCo/status/1907469768174743637) … here’s the link to the Brave announcement: [Brave Wallet adds shielded Zcash transactions on desktop, with Android and iOS coming soon | Brave](https://brave.com/blog/shielded-zcash/) ---

I think its great Brave has an “Orchard only” UA option, and hope more wallets allow this flexibility. Choose “Shielded”. ![Screenshot_2025-04-03_08-56-53](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/zcash/original/3X/f/1/f120ad369ea80ac222ac006f0ba8e0e84e6680b5.png) ![Screenshot_2025-04-03_08-57-05](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/zcash/original/3X/7/f/7f2ddcf863a8ccae41a16c45229dede90d0b805d.png) Some feedback for deposits, its a bit confusing, but here is how ![Screenshot_2025-04-03_08-45-51](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/zcash/original/3X/3/3/33283625b30369353c85696129defae4c12b7a4e.png) For a quick demo on mobile, check out what we tested last month > ---

I am only able to see a Transparent Address. Original account name lacks the “Shielded Icon” Account 2 just added after updating Brave via command line Shows: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/zcash/original/3X/2/4/24810b3e0aceb34ffe7f80f2b25f8bc70e0aba0c.jpeg) Clicking on the “Shielded Account” only reveals the transparent addy, even If I click on the different “deposit” buttons. Do I need to deposit via a T-address first, your screenshot indicates no balance, so I am confused… How are you able to see the “details” and other address options? ---

Brave was 1.77.95 -vs- Nightly 1.79.23 Brave was a no-go – Brave NIghtly was All Good! 👍 and I could then see the shielded address details.

Latest Brave should work, but It may depend on what version you have. I’m running the latest Xubuntu and Brave `v 1.77.95` ![Screenshot_2025-04-03_12-25-02](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/zcash/original/3X/7/0/70e7928493e809718d6bc1857cdf697282282843.png) ---

Cache Clean and restart allowed the option to “Shield” to appear under “Edit”. Brave is now good-to-go - with only 1 shielded address allowed..?.. What exactly is the difference between “Unified” and “Shielded” other than a longer address? ---

The Unified encodes a transparent receiver, so in the case you dont want others seeing that address, you would use the shielded option instead. Plug your Unified into [this](https://mainnet.zcashexplorer.app/) to see for yourself. ---

> [@FortifieDEX](#): > > Cache Clean and restart allowed the option to “Shield” to appear under “Edit” You may need to clear the cache as FortifieDEX did. Also here is how you convert old transparent accounts ( h/t @tokidoki ) ![Screenshot_from_2025-04-04_13-12-13](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/zcash/original/3X/e/7/e7b97d91bc7882fb5e5fdf6e97e735e1cd649cda.png) ---

dismad showed the option box to select the option to convert to shielded account, I had problems seeing that option also… That is what led me to the GitHub video. It’s a 2 minute video found when you scroll down from the link above. brave://flags was what I needed to type to be able to search for “zcash” just like the video shows, once I enabled support for shielded - that’s when I - under settings - privacy and security - deleted all history and cookies. Closed everything out and restarted. That’s when the option box dismad showed appeared for me. Make sure you scroll down also, some of the options were off the bottom of my screen. It seems it is a common problem. There is an open GitHub request for support for this same problem of seeing the 3 address types. The request was 5 hours old yesterday, with no responses, when I saw it while searching for a solution and found that video. ---
