Gem Wallet takes another important step in building the future of crypto management. We’re excited to announce that Gem Wallet now supports Zcash — you can store, send, and swap ZEC directly in the app, unlocking new possibilities for your digital assets.
Gem Wallet Fully Supports Zcash Blockchain
With Gem Wallet adding support for Zcash, one of the most popular privacy-focused assets is now available to you without any hassle. Securely store your ZEC, manage it, and swap it for BTC or other popular tokens — all in one app. This integration makes Gem Wallet even more powerful, combining the privacy of Zcash with the flexibility and functionality of a reliable wallet, giving users the ability to make secure and anonymous transactions.
What Is Zcash?
Zcash is a cryptocurrency designed for private and secure transactions. It’s based on the principles of Bitcoin but uses advanced technology to hide transaction data and help users maintain full privacy of their transfers and assets. The native coin of the Zcash network is ZEC — you can send ZEC to a friend, use it for purchases, donations, or swap it for other assets.
