The thing people get wrong on Zcash
Most multi-chain wallets that advertise 'Zcash support' mean transparent t-addresses, which are as public as a Bitcoin address. Shielded is the part that is hard, and the part worth checking for.
Receiving ZEC
- Open WRAITH and select Zcash from the network list.
- Tap Receive for the QR code and the full address — unified/Orchard u1… shielded, or t1 transparent.
- Check the first and last four characters against the source before sending a large amount. Address substitution by clipboard malware is real, and this is the check that catches it.
- Send a small test amount first when using a new address for the first time.
Everything else on the same seed
Zcash is one of around 46 networks WRAITH holds from a single BIP39 phrase, across roughly 14 signature families — including native Monero and shielded Zcash, which almost no browser wallet ships. Browse the full directory →

Frequently asked questions
What derivation path does WRAITH use for Zcash?
m/44'/133'/0'/0/0 — the standard path for Zcash. That means an account created in WRAITH can be restored in any other standards-compliant wallet, and an existing ZEC seed restores to the same addresses here.
What does a Zcash address look like?
Unified/Orchard u1… shielded, or t1 transparent. WRAITH shows a QR code and a copy button on the receive screen so you never retype one by hand.
Is WRAITH a custodial Zcash wallet?
No. Your seed phrase is generated and encrypted on your device and never uploaded. WRAITH cannot move your ZEC, and cannot recover it if you lose the seed.
Do I need a separate wallet for Zcash?
No — that is the point. The same BIP39 seed that holds your ZEC also holds Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Monero, shielded Zcash and around forty other networks, behind one balance.
