What changed
HOT launched a community competition around ZEC routes and swaps. This update is part of HOT Labs' work to make Zcash easier to use from one self-custody wallet.
What you can do with Zcash in HOT Wallet
- Use ZEC across Web3. Manage ZEC alongside your other assets in one self-custody portfolio.
- Proof-of-Work, not native staking. Zcash does not provide native protocol staking; HOT does not label it as one.
- Bridge and swap ZEC. Move ZEC across NEAR, Solana, Aptos, Starknet and supported Intents routes.
Integrated apps and infrastructure
The current Zcash experience connects wallet features with NEAR Intents, HOT Exchange. Availability can vary by asset, region, route, and third-party protocol. Always review the final transaction details before confirming.
Why it matters
Users should not need to manually coordinate accounts, gas, apps, and cross-chain routes for every action. HOT Wallet brings those steps into one interface while users retain control of their accounts and approvals.
Get started
Open HOT Wallet, select Zcash, and choose the relevant wallet, staking, swap, bridge, or app flow. Confirm the network, asset, route, fees, and destination before signing.
