HEY. YOU. LISTEN.

You matter. Right now. Today. Every effort counts, even the ones you feel are too small.

Stand up. Even if it hurts.
Especially if it feels impossible.

This is your fight. Your moment. Your life. Move:
1. Do something. Anything. One small action beats a thousand “I’ll start tomorrow”s.
2. Shut out the noise. Forget what drains you. Protect your energy.
3. Show up for yourself. Head high. Shoulders back. Eyes locked on what matters.
4. Build your power. Confidence is earned by action, not waiting.

No shortcuts. No excuses. No one has to cheer you on.
You are enough. You can rise. You will rise.

Get up. Step forward. Own your day. Dominate yourself, not anyone else.

Thank you Jason, for the opportunity, for the trust and for the kind words. Thank you Zooko, Mark, Nate and everyone at @ShieldedLabs for the warm welcome.

To the Zcash community, to my team at @zcashbrazil who built all of this with me, and to everyone who has been part of this journey: none of this happens alone.

AI is changing how everything gets built, distributed and adopted. I believe the next narrative will ask for union. Independent teams, different cultures, different paths, but together, because ZEC is unique.

Shielded Labs live the mission every day, and it's a great honor to be part of this team.

Let's stay united. The work continues.

A Zcash wallet that runs its own node. 2 clicks. On a MacBook.

Zecky Lock it for Mac, with Go Max. Your choice, your node. 🍕

$ZEC

Zecky Lock it for Mac is a Zcash wallet first: self-custody, shielded, built for holding Zcash.

Go Max is the option on top. One switch, and the wallet runs its own Zcash node on your Mac. Don't want that? Leave it off. The $ZEC wallet works either way.

Tonight my MacBook Air finished checking the Zcash chain by itself, and my wallet switched over to it. One switch. I may have stared at a green $ZEC dot for a while.

This works because of what the Zakura, Zebra, Zaino and librustzcash teams built. I just wanted it to be one click for everyone else. 👇

Wallet and Zcash node all in one.

Your wallet asks someone else's server about your Zcash. Every time it syncs $ZEC.

Go Max ends that.

One switch in Zecky Lock it for Mac, and your wallet runs its own Zcash node. Every block since Canopy checked on your own Mac. About 20 GB. No server in between.

Go Max stands on Zakura and Zaino.

In testing now.
