What else is known? The iOS app is expected to be released at the end of this month, the Android wallet will be available in about 30 days. Zashi is designed exclusively for ZEC, it allows you to send, receive, and store the asset while keeping transactions and message history private.

Version 1.0 includes support for unified addresses, a secure Orchard pool, and a Spend Before Sync feature. This feature is necessary in case a user has an existing wallet that they have not used for a while and needs to spend their old funds without waiting for the wallet to synchronize.

In addition, the version allows for feedback from the developers, which will give faster access to additional features.

Also this month, Brave’s privacy web browser team announced the introduction of additional privacy-enhancing features to Brave Wallet in partnership with Zcash and the Filecoin Foundation.

Earlier, ZEC was delisted by global exchange OKX and Binance units in several EU countries due to local legal requirements. Later, Binance allowed a full delisting of the coin due to its non-compliance with the criteria, in connection with which the Zcash community, considering the removal from the platform inevitable, proposed to abandon the transparent pool, which allows for public transactions.

At the time of writing, Zcash ranks 187th in the cryptocurrency ranking with a capitalization of $461,2 million and is trading at $31,25, having lost 9,9% overnight. At the same time, the growth since the beginning of the year amounted to 14,63%.
