Dear Zcash community, we want to announce that Ledger has finally officially released the new Zcash Shielded Ledger App developed by zondax.
This new application can be found in Ledger Live under the name “zcash shielded”
The new app is currently supported by the following devices:
- Nano S
- Nano S Plus
- Flex
- Stax
We developed the application to be compatible with NanoX, however, despite the continuous efforts there is an ongoing issue on NanoX devices that persists. The device takes too long in calculating keys and this triggers a watchdog, we’re working with the Ledger firmware team to find a solution for this.
Currently the only desktop wallet that supports this new Ledger app is a fork of Zec wallet that we have adapted to be compatible with the new Ledger app. This can be found here . While we recognise that this is not ideal, we’re actively collaborating and providing support to other wallets that want to integrate HW support (zingo, zashi etc).
Please find here further information
Here is a tutorial on how to use this new application to unlock locked funds due to the previous Ledger application “zcash” not supporting shielded transactions.
