I have the nano x, is the shielded app compatible with the Ledger Stax?
I have this one as well so Iâll try again with it then, thanks @hanh. Do we know how long before the Zashi has support for it as well though? Or can I already do this with Ywallet maybe? Getting setup with the Zondax fork of Zecwallet light is doing to be tricky for a while for me.
I cannot wait to leave those Ledger wallets behind once I have recovered my funds; too much has gone wrong already.
Thereâs nothing discreet about any Ledger model tbh. You know what looks like crap and discreet? An old airgapped Android phone.
I know you donât agree with me, and I think I understand why better now. From a cryptography standpoint, your point makes sense. From a physical security standpoint, mine may make more sense. Ultimately itâs about individual âthreat modelâ. I am glad we are about to have a good hardware wallet alternative with the Keystone wallet and I am hopefull there will eventually be standardization around the offline wallets qr codes.

I agree, looks like a cheap pendrive. Good design choice by ledger. Not sure if they did intend to do that though LOL

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 âzcash shieldedâ
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, weâre 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, weâre 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 âzcashâ not supporting shielded transactions.

Finally! This is a big deal for Zcash and its nice to finally get it over the line after YEARS even though there a few compromisesâŚ
As a minimum, it is huge for people to reclaim their locked coins
What is the chance to get the ledger X account to do an announcement??

I read through the tutorial for unlocking locked funds. Could you explain a little more about what is happening in this step?
- Note the App Crash: The app may close unexpectedly after initiating the transaction. Donât worryâyour funds are now secured but locked.
I presume that this means that the transaction made it in to the chain at the new address, but that the existing Ledger transaction parser canât parse that transaction, is that correct?

It finally happened, congrats!
The blog posts links to GitHub - ZcashFoundation/zecwallet at zondax.mymidnight.blog while your forum post links to GitHub - Zondax/zecwallet-lite: Zecwallet-Lite is z-Addr first lightwallet for Zcash. which seems to be the correct one.
Do you plan to make precompile binaries available for download?
I tried following the README and run into this error:
[1] [550357:1114/192008.351837:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(158)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /home/conrado/workspace/zecwallet-lite/node_modules/electron/dist/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.
Which seems to be an issue with Ubuntu 24.04; Ledger Live amusingly has the same issue. I changed the permission and managed to run. I had to switch lightwalletd servers and then I get:
Error Initializing Lightclient
Error: Unknown keystore variant
Any ideas?

This was my build procedure
Great news that it is also available for the âoldâ Nano S. 
Not everyone upgrades to new devices. I will personally wait for Orchard though (hoping it will be possible in the future).

Hi sorry for the slow reply. Zingo-Mobile currently supports 317 and 320.
Iâll be saying more this week.

I have not been able to make this work on my MacOS machine, has anyone succeeded?
Looking forward to having a Zcash wallet where I can plug my Ledger to and unlock my funds. I would really like to be able to participate to the vote regarding the NSM with more than my 1 ZEC wallet for testings.

Me too. Unfortunately it has been more cumbersome than it should have.
I hate to be the âI said soâ dude but ZecWallet was already an un maintained code base back in November 2023, but still VERY similar to Zingo at the time.
Now Zingo has changed quite a lot (for good), it fixed tremendous bugs that ZecWallet has (but donât affect ledger since those were related to the in memory key storage) and porting it is not quite an option. Iâm working with both Zingo and Zondax teams to get ledger support out from ZecWallet so we can put that app to sleep and give proper burial by applying the Wallet End of Life Draft ZIP

I also canât see it under the âdiscoverâ page. Is this because the app is not for the âoldâ Ledger Nano?
