Copy the full address or let the sender scan the QR code. Verify the beginning and end of the address after pasting.
Paste the recipient address in Send To and confirm that the address is on the intended network.
Select shielded funds for stronger privacy when available. Transparent funding can reveal and link the selected public UTXOs.
The wallet calculates spendable funds after transaction selection, fees, and dust constraints. The displayed total balance may be higher than the amount available to send.
Check the destination, amount, funding source, memo, and fee before broadcasting.
Zcash shielded transactions can include a private memo. Treat a memo as durable transaction data: only include information you intend the recipient to keep.
A transparent transaction exposes public on-chain details. Sending from transparent funds to a shielded address does not hide the transparent source.
