Zodl
Zodl (formerly Zashi) is the flagship Zcash mobile wallet, now developed independently by Zcash Open Development Lab (ZODL). The entire ECC development team left Electric Coin Company in January 2026 and formed ZODL. The wallet was renamed from Zashi to Zodl in February 2026. It defaults to shielded (private) transactions and is the most straightforward way to hold ZEC with full privacy on a phone.

Strengths
- Shielded by default with no option to accidentally send transparent
- Clean, minimal interface designed for non-technical users
- Built-in swaps for converting to and from shielded ZEC
- Maintained by the original Zcash development team under independent management
Weaknesses
- ZEC only. No Monero, no Bitcoin, no multi-coin support
- No desktop version
- Relies on ZODL-operated lightwalletd servers for syncing
Privacy
All transactions use shielded addresses by default. Zodl connects to ZODL-operated lightwalletd servers, which can see your IP address but cannot see your transaction amounts, recipients, or memo fields. For IP-level privacy, use a VPN.
Notes
Zodl is the same wallet that was previously called Zashi. The rebrand happened automatically through an app update in February 2026. If you already had Zashi installed, your app updated to Zodl with no action needed. Your seed phrase, balance, and transaction history are unchanged. Zodl does not support transparent-only addresses, which means you cannot send ZEC to exchanges that only accept transparent deposits without using a separate wallet.
