Building on Zebra: The Creation of Nozy Wallet
One of the latest chapters in my story involves innovative contributions too Zcash community. Enter Nozy Wallet, the first fully-functional Orchard wallet built specifically for Zebra, Zcash Rust-based node implementation. Developed by the team at Leonine DAO, (https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/nozy-wallet-retroactive-grant/52417) Nozy Wallet represents a significant step forward in Zcash wallet ecosystem.
Orchard is Zcash advanced shielded pool, designed for enhanced privacy and efficiency. Building a wallet on Zebra, a lightweight, modular node required overcoming technical hurdles like architectural decisions, debugging, testing, and code verification, all handled by yours truly. The wallet not only supports secure storage and transactions but also serves as an educational tool, demonstrating comprehensive Zcash development practices.
The process of creating Nozy Wallet was a labor of passion, starting from early exploring in Zcash privacy tech and evolving into a complete product. As an open-source project, it aligns with Zcash ethos of community-driven development, potentially paving the way for more Zebra-based applications. Leonine DAO submitted a proposal for a $21,000 retroactive grant to recognize the work on Nozy Wallet, highlighting its value as the first Zebra-Orchard wallet.
If granted, this funding would retroactively compensate for the independent efforts poured into the project. Approval of the grant would be a game changer for Leonine DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization focused on privacy, human rights, generational wealth, and financial literacy in the crypto space. (https://leoninedao.org)Established with roots in blockchain since 2015, Leonine DAO aims to build innovative solutions on platforms like Zcash, fostering privacy-centric tools that empower users globally.
Boosting Leonine DAO and Creating Positive Impact
The funding would provide a major boost, enabling further development, marketing, and expansion of Nozy Wallet. More broadly, it would amplify Leonine DAO’s mission to create positive impact, such as educational resources, privacy advocacy, and tools for underserved communities. By supporting such projects, Zcash not only strengthens its ecosystem but also advances the broader crypto space toward more inclusive, secure, and privacy-respecting technologies.
Zcash journey from a scientific concept to a thriving privacy coin exemplifies the power of innovation and community. Contributions like Nozy Wallet from Leonine DAO remind us that the future of crypto lies in collaborative efforts that prioritize user empowerment and positive change. As the grant review unfolds, the Zcash community continues to shape a more private digital economy.
