Everything you do with ZEC, in one place

A self-custody wallet that behaves like a consumer app: no extension to install, no phrase to memorise, nothing in the middle holding your Zcash assets.

Send to a name, not an address

Send ZEC to a Drop handle, an X handle, a phone number or an email address. Drop resolves it to the right Zcash address before anything is signed.

Keys on your device, not ours

Your Zcash keys are created on your own devices and never leave them. Drop cannot move your ZEC, which also means no one can be talked into moving it for you.

No seed phrase to lose

Sign in with a passkey — Face ID, Touch ID or your device PIN. There is no twelve-word phrase to photograph, mistype or keep in a drawer.

Swap into and out of Zcash

Route ZEC to any asset Drop supports, on Zcash or on another network, at rates aggregated across venues. One approval — no bridge interface to hunt down.

One portfolio, every chain

Zcash sits in the same portfolio as the other 19 networks Drop supports, priced in your own currency, with per-chain filters when you want to narrow the view.

Dollars in, dollars out

Top up with a card or a bank transfer and cash out the same way, without parking your funds in a separate exchange account first.

Installs like an app, runs in a browser

Add Drop to your home screen on iOS, Android, macOS or Windows. Same wallet, same keys, no app store in between.

About Zcash

Zcash (ZEC) is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency. Drop holds it at transparent addresses, which work like Bitcoin addresses.

Drop treats Zcash as a first-class network rather than a bridge destination: balances are read from the chain itself, transactions are signed by keys that only exist on your devices, and the assets you hold here sit in the same portfolio as everything else you own.

Zcash wallet questions

Is Drop a self-custody Zcash wallet?
Yes. Your keys are generated on your device, stored on your device and used on your device. Drop holds nothing, so Drop cannot freeze your ZEC, lend it out or move it — and cannot recover it for you either.
Do I need a seed phrase to use Zcash in Drop?
No. Access runs through passkeys on the devices you already carry, secured by Face ID, Touch ID or your device PIN. There is no recovery phrase to write down.
Can I use the same wallet on my phone and my laptop?
Yes. Drop is a web app you can install to your home screen or dock on iOS, Android, macOS and Windows, and your account follows you across all of them.
Does Drop support shielded Zcash transactions?
Not currently. Drop supports transparent Zcash addresses and transactions, which are visible on-chain in the same way as Bitcoin transactions.
