Davee 🛡️

Dear Zcash,

Between 2020 and 2023 I claimed you 110 times from faucets. Tiny amounts. Every claim still sits on a public address.

This is my letter to you.

Zcash, simply #3

Why does Binance give you a tex1… address for ZEC?

It points to a normal t1 address, with one rule: only transparent ZEC can be sent to it, so Binance can trace and refund each deposit.

From a shielded wallet, your wallet handles it in two steps 👇

Binance credits shielded ZEC deposits after NU7. Verified on-chain.

Does yours?

On Coinbase, Kraken, KuCoin or OKX? Run a deposit check on Can I Shield: send a small amount from your shielded wallet to your own account and report if it's credited.

Can you deposit shielded ZEC to @binance after NU7?

Tested today: @zodl_app shielded balance → Binance's TEX address.

✅ Credited ~8 min after landing on-chain

TEX pays in two steps, so Binance never sees a shielded input.

I sent the same @Zcash payment before and after NU7, and timed it ⏱️

Before (75 s blocks): 61 s and 105 s
After (25 s blocks): 14 s and 44 s

Average to first confirmation: 83 s → 29 s, 2.9x faster

4 real shielded payments, @zodl_app and @vizorwallet, checked on-chain 🛡️
