Self-custody wallets for ZEC. Shielded (z-address) support is what makes Zcash private — prefer a 'Full shielded' wallet to send and receive privately.
Shielded = private. Only shielded (Orchard/Sapling) transactions hide the amount, sender and receiver. Transparent (t-address) ZEC is public like Bitcoin.

Ledger · Zondax
Transparent by default; a Zondax app adds Sapling on some models.
17 wallets · curated from official sources, 2026 · shielded support verified per wallet. The Open source badge links to the public repository and appears only when the wallet itself (app or firmware) is fully open source, verified per repo and license; Ledger is excluded because its device OS is proprietary even though its Zcash app is open. The Audited badge links to a public third-party security audit report of the wallet itself (for Ledger, of its Zcash app) — absence means no public report was found, not that the wallet is unsafe. Deprecated (Nighthawk) and non-Zcash (Coinbase Wallet) options are omitted.
