Zec.rocks is proud to announce that [Zecd is the first zcashd wallet alternative](https://zecd.org/) to pass an independent security audit.

In June I hired [Zellic](https://www.zellic.io/) to perform an independent security audit of zecd, the Zcash wallet server built by Zec.rocks. The audit found zero critical issues. All findings are remediated.

I hope that the report is a useful reference for all teams securing wallets:
