We held out first meeting on the Zcash Extensible Wallet Interchange Format (ZeWIF) today and also presented the first results of our survey, with the intent of getting feedback and expertise before we close out the survey and our related spreadsheet of data at the end of this month.

The initial survey is at [zcash-wallet-formats/README.md at master · dorianvp/zcash-wallet-formats · GitHub](https://github.com/dorianvp/zcash-wallet-formats/blob/master/README.md). It currently includes a look at the Zcashd, Zecwallet, Zingo, eZcash, Zashi, and YWallet wallets.

The start of the collation of this data is at [Zcash Wallet Content - Google Sheets](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MdahX4igppx7a4BdrcO5TGB2-mO1EtXrlKssypfEHUQ/). We’ve still got a few more days of work on it before I hand it off to Wolf, our engineer who will be laying out the spec.

The video, slides, and key points of the meeting are at [ZeWIF Meeting, 1/24/25 - Developer Resources](https://developer.blockchaincommons.com/chains/zcash/zewif/meeting1/). This includes some of the discussions of the needs of an interchange format based on specific data.

We’d love to get your feedback too! Please feel free to make comments on the spreadsheet, to write issues on the survey, or to make comments here.

As we said in today’s slides, our goal is to make sure we capture the core 80% of wallet data in the core interchange spec (while simultaneously making sure that _everything_ is recorded in some way). Your expertise in helping us do so is appreciated!

We’ve closed out phase one of the project. Here’s our final report on wallet contents:

> **[ZeWIF Wallet Report](https://developer.blockchaincommons.com/chains/zcash/zewif/report1/)**
>
> Docs & information on Blockchain Commons specifications.

This was built on our wallet survey & a wallet contents spreadsheet:

> **[GitHub - zingolabs/zcash-wallet-formats: Zcash Wallet Survey](https://github.com/zingolabs/zcash-wallet-formats/tree/master)**
>
> master

> **[Zcash Wallet Content](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MdahX4igppx7a4BdrcO5TGB2-mO1EtXrlKssypfEHUQ/edit)**
>
> This Sheet is private

This was of course all in process to lay out the data we need to create a specification for the wallet interchange format, which is going to be the work of phase 2, this month.
