Zcash wallets
Zingo Wallet: Zcash Features and Platforms
Quick Answer
The retrieved Zingolib README describes a library for zingo-mobile and an included CLI client. Its explicit CLI options and note-management claims are scoped to Zingo CLI, not automatically to every mobile app version. The README identifies two roles: a library for zingo-mobile and an included CLI application that interacts with the Zcash blockchain through a chain indexer.
Key Takeaways
- Zingolib documents a CLI client and its role in zingo-mobile.
- Wallet capability depends on platform, release and supported receiver types.
- Check current publisher support before relying on a historical feature list.
Features and platform support
The README identifies two roles: a library for zingo-mobile and an included CLI application that interacts with the Zcash blockchain through a chain indexer. Its CLI section says releases are provisional.
We record the immutable repository commit as the inspected version rather than inventing an installed or released application number. The presence of a shared library does not prove identical user-facing capabilities across platforms.
Custom server and note-management evidence
The documented --server option selects a custom Zcash indexer server. The note-management section says the CLI can select funds from multiple shielded addresses and may automatically shield Sapling funds during an outgoing transaction to a shielded address.
These statements support specific capability records in the local database. They do not justify a blanket claim that every Zingo build supports every pool, hardware device or viewing-key workflow.
Privacy caveats are part of the capability description
The source warns that the server can learn which blocks contain shielded transactions and can learn metadata such as an IP address. It also says transparent addresses are publicly visible on chain and price information comes from Gemini.
These are important operational boundaries: cryptographic shielded transaction properties do not remove every server or network metadata channel. The application has not been device-tested by this project.
FAQ
Does a CLI capability apply to Zingo mobile?
Not from this evidence alone. The record explicitly names CLI scope; released mobile behavior needs a matching version-specific source.
Was Zingo tested on a device?
No. These are statements extracted from a pinned README, with check date and source hash, not a transaction or security test.

Methodology and technical limitations
Scope and verification limits
No wallet is downloaded, connected or restored in this research workspace. A source statement is labeled source-stated and source-reported, not certified secure. Use the database to select a capability, repository commit or source-check age; an empty filter is a lack of sourced evidence in our limited corpus, not proof of non-support. Mobile platform, released version and device-specific compatibility still require their own sources and tests.
