zcash-android-wallet

An Android wallet using the Zcash Android SDK that is maintained by ECC developers.

Motivation

Dogfooding - transitive verb - is the practice of an organization using its own product. This app was created to help us learn.

Please take note: the wallet is not an official product by ECC, but rather a tool for learning about our libraries that it is built on. This means that we do not have robust infrasturcture or user support for this application. We open sourced it as a resource to make wallet development easier for the Zcash ecosystem.

Setup

To run, clone the repo, open it in Android Studio and press play. It should just work.™

Requirements

Install from Android Studio

  1. Install Android studio and setup an emulator
    1a. If using a device, be sure to put it in developer mode to enable side-loading apps
  2. Import the zcash-android-wallet folder.
    It will be recognized as an Android project.
  3. Press play (once it is done opening and indexing)

OR Install from the command line

To build from the command line, setup ADB and connect your device. Then simply run this and it will both build and install the app:

cd /path/to/zcash-android-wallet
./gradlew

Disclaimers

There are some known areas for improvement:

  • This app is mainly intended for learning and improving the related libraries that it uses. There may be bugs.
  • This wallet currently only supports receiving at shielded addresses, which makes it incompatible with wallets that do not support sending to shielded addresses.
  • Traffic analysis, like in other cryptocurrency wallets, can leak some privacy of the user.
  • The wallet requires a trust in the server to display accurate transaction information.
  • This app has been developed and run exclusively on mainnet it might not work on testnet.

See the Wallet App Threat Model for more information about the security and privacy limitations of the wallet.
