**NOZY UPDATE**  
Integrated the` zcash_note_encrypton` library for real note decryption. Added proper key derivation from wallet mnemonics. Overall, I improve error handling and code quality.

`git clone https://github.com/yourusername/nozywallet.git`

That’s what is on your github. Isn’t it supposed to be:

`git clone https://github.com/LEONINE-DAO/Nozy-wallet.git`

Also, I’m struggling to find how much you’re asking for, can you help point me to that little detail?

edit: ok found it, please respect the time of stakeholders and make sure everything they need to know is a click away, it’s already a drag to have to review everything, thanks!

> "Nozy people gone be nozy" secure, private, and user-friendly wallet. Nozy wallet empowers you to control your financial privacy with simple setup. Robust encryption, and seamless transactions it's the smart way to protect your digital assets on Zcash from nozy people in a decentralized world.
> 
> \### Project Description
> 
> NozyWallet is the first Zcash wallet built on zebrad, Rust-based Zcash Orchard-based wallet that implements complete shielded transaction functionality with zero compilation errors. Built following official librustzcash patterns, it provides the Zcash community with a fully functional reference implementation for Orchard wallet development.
> 
> \### Technical Approach (how you did it)
> 
> NozyWallet was built using a \*\*methodical, phase-based approach\*\* with \*\*strong emphasis on code quality, security, and documentation\*\*. The project successfully implements a \*\*production-ready Zcash Orchard wallet\*\* following \*\*official librustzcash patterns\*\* with \*\*zero compilation errors\*\* and \*\*comprehensive documentation\*\*.
> 
> The technical methodology prioritized \*\*type safety\*\*, \*\*error handling\*\*, and \*\*community standards\*\*, resulting in a \*\*Ready project\*\* that serves as a \*\*reference implementation\*\* for the Zcash ecosystem.

> \- Compensation:
> - $(USD): $21,000
> - Justification: This project was developed using AI-assisted methodologies which significantly accelerated implementation (~100-120 hours of active development vs ~200 hours traditional). The work delivers substantial value to the Zcash ecosystem: a production-ready Orchard wallet with zero compilation errors, complete HD wallet implementation (BIP39/ZIP-32), Argon2 password protection, Zebra blockchain integration, comprehensive error handling, interactive CLI with dialoguer, diagnostic tools, complete documentation (README, CONTRIBUTING.md following librustzcash standards, TECHNICAL\_METHODOLOGY.md), test framework, and CI/CD pipeline. All architectural decisions, debugging, testing, and code verification were performed by the LEONINE-DAO developer. The $21,000 request reflects both the AI productivity gains and the significant value delivered as the first complete Rust Orchard wallet reference implementation.
> 
> \- Technology/Software:
> - $(USD): $0
> - Justification: All development tools and libraries are open source and free. Used: Rust toolchain (free), VS Code + rust-analyzer (free), official Zcash crates (orchard 0.11.0, zcash\_primitives 0.24.0, zcash\_address 0.9.0 - all open source), GitHub for version control (free), and standard development utilities. No paid software licenses or proprietary tools required.
> 
> \- Infrastructure/Hosting:
> - $(USD): $0
> - Justification: No infrastructure or hosting costs incurred. GitHub repository hosting (free tier), GitHub Actions CI/CD (free tier for open source), and all development performed on personal hardware with personal internet connectivity. No cloud services, VPS, or dedicated servers required for this project.
> 
> \- Services/Contractors:
> - $(USD): $0
> - Justification: No external services or contractors used. All work completed by LEONINE-DAO team. No consulting fees, code review services, audit services, design services, marketing services, or legal fees incurred. Project developed entirely in-house.

OK thank will look into the issue.

**UPDATE**  
The wallet data stored issue is fix and updated on GitHub.

Ok [Fix wallet password verification bug - verify password after decryption · LEONINE-DAO/Nozy-wallet@efcbe13 · GitHub](https://github.com/LEONINE-DAO/Nozy-wallet/commit/efcbe13c6a9c3e22474c9125994f68525b42b20f)

> Thank you for your feedback. To better address your concerns, could you please be more specific about what exactly raises red flags or feels unclear in the proposal? I’m happy to clarify any points and provide additional context or evidence where needed. A quick note on where we stand Yes! Nozy is still under active development the foundation is complete, Orchard support, in-wallet bridging, wallet generating seed etc., but the wallet is not “finished” yet. That’s precisely why I’m requesting …

Hi, I did not say Nozy raises red flags, I was generally saying I assume all proposals for money are a scam by default.

My past notes on Nozy:

> NozyWallet - $21k for a “user friendly wallet” is useful and reasonable but I dont see a release. Looking at the repo it looks like a dev wallet not an end user wallet, which is fine and needed but not described correctly. Would need to compile the wallet to check if the wallet works and is actually user friendly to get to a yes (I have not done this)

My current notes on Nozy:

- First thoughts: I don’t want to install a rust repo because they usually require a bunch of dependency debugging that I don’t have time. I wish there was a demo of some sort.
- Second thought: ok I’ll try running the nozy repo in case it works flawlessly
- Well I am pleasantly surprised that the Nozy repo runs on the first try without having to debug rust dependencies.
- The code runs and it generated a seed phrase and universal address. I sent a few zats to it.
- Ok its not yet fully fuctional as `nozy scan` is not a recognized subcommand, so I can’t see if the zats arrived.
- This seems useful if it was functional and did not require compiling everything.
- I’ve not audited any of this so would want other eyeballs on this.
- Parts of this are clearly AI generated so its possible all this code is performative. Needs closer scrutiny.

My suggestions:

- On your proposal, be more clear about what is accomplished and what is aspirational. Provide evidence so voters don’t need to work to figure out if you are real.
- Many voters are not developers or don’t have time to check your code, have a demo available.
- Flesh out the product more so it works as described in the proposal.
- Get community to verify it, use it, and vouch for it. A stronger retroactive proposal has already delighted the community.
- Re-apply when it is in a more completed state.

For this round my vote is `no`

I used real ZEC but the scan function is broken so I believe I can not view balance. Forgot to include screenshot.

At this stage it seems like a better fit for a Community Grant rather than a Retroactive Grant as it is in an unfinished state.

Supportive of the idea but it needs to be properly diligenced.
