Vizor aims to make Zcash easy to use for newcomers, while also offering enough powerful features for users who want a bigger screen than a mobile phone. As of right now, we only support macOS, but Windows and Linux support should be coming in the next few days.
I want to express my gratitude to the various community members who reached out after the initial post to provide feedback, help with testing, and amplify the announcement. As a newcomer to the community, the response has been refreshing, and the entire team feels like our time and energy building this wallet has been well spent.
Now, I also need your help.
While we have a high-level internal idea of what features we want to ship next, we recognize that community feedback and understanding what existing users have felt was missing is an important part of building a product that delights users.
Please drop any feature requests, general feedback/questions, or issues you’ve run into. We’d love to build a wallet that feels exciting to use.
I’m building CipherPay, a non-custodial Zcash payment gateway (invoices, checkout pages, POS, subscriptions, payment links, AI agent payments). A few features that would make Vizor + CipherPay work great together:
Payment URI support, CipherPay generates payment links for every invoice. If Vizor registers as the handler for zcash: links, clicking “Open in wallet” on a checkout page would launch Vizor with everything pre-filled. Desktop-to-desktop payments, no QR scanning needed.
Viewing key export (also already requested) Merchants using Vizor as their store wallet need to export their viewing key to connect with CipherPay.
CipherScan as block explorer (ValarDragon mentioned this too) I run CipherScan, a privacy-focused Zcash explorer.
External app integration Building on @ValarDragon’s “call into wallet from another app” idea, if Vizor could receive payment requests from other apps, CipherPay merchants could trigger refunds or sweeps right from their browser. Vizor’s multi-account setup is already perfect for separating store, treasury, and payroll wallets.
Payment proofs We’re working on a standard way for buyers to prove they paid an invoice without revealing anything extra. Would love to share the draft spec if that’s something on your radar.
We’ve already added Vizor to our docs and wallet recommendations. Looking forward to Windows/Linux and happy to chat about any of this.
It looks like a good wallet. Not sure if it is fetched transaction details from sync server (do decrypted encrypted messages). Most wallets do this which is a huge privacy risk (allows mapping of everyone’s shielded transactions by syncing server).
I can help test any hardware wallet implementations if you work on support. The ones I have are keystone, dcent, ellipal, ledger flex, trezor safe, ngrave. Supporting one of these is appreciated.
