Wallets

ZcashNames resolution lets a wallet user type alice.zcash in the recipient field instead of pasting a full unified address.

WalletResolution support
Edge Implementing
Unstoppable Implementing

No wallet has shipped ZNS resolution yet.

For the integration list and the wallets that handle ZNS transactions (every modern shielded Zcash wallet that supports ZIP-321 and verbatim Orchard memos), see Wallet Compatibility.

What is open

The whole stack is MIT or Apache licensed and lives in two repos:

Trust assumptions, in one paragraph

Every state-changing action in ZNS is signed by an Ed25519 admin key held by the maintainers. That key gates writes to the registry. It does not gate reads, because anyone can run an indexer with the published UIVK and arrive at the same database. It does not control user funds. The full picture is on the Trust model page.
