Installation Guide

1

Download & Verify

Download Zcash Wallet package for your operating system and verify the signature to ensure authenticity and integrity. This guarantees you're installing a genuine, secure build.

2

Install Application

Run the installer or extract the package depending on your platform. The wallet will create a secure local data environment to protect keys and prepare necessary runtime files.

3

Sync With Network

On first launch, the wallet connects to the Zcash network and begins syncing network data. This process prepares your wallet to privately detect funds and validate shielded transactions.

4

Create or Restore Wallet

After syncing, create a new wallet or restore from an existing seed phrase or backup file. Carefully store your recovery phrase — it is the only way to regain access if your device is lost.
