Zashi\u2019s expanded Tor capabilities place it one more step ahead of the pack. By routing wallet activity through Tor, Zashi adds network-level privacy on top of Zcash\u2019s best-in-class cryptographic protections.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What is Tor?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tor is a volunteer-operated privacy network that encrypts and routes your internet traffic through multiple relays, making it much harder to trace your online activity back to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zashi\u2019s Tor integration is built on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/forum.zcashcommunity.com\/t\/arti-a-pure-rust-tor-implementation-for-zcash-and-beyond\/38776\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arti<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a Rust-based Tor implementation designed to make Tor faster, more reliable, and easier to integrate into applications like Zashi. Developed by the Tor Project with funding from Zcash Community Grants, Arti has been a long-standing strategic priority for the Zcash community.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Why This Matters<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wallets use Zcash lightwallet servers to fetch data from the chain and to submit transactions to the network. Without Tor, such requests can be linked to your IP address, potentially revealing patterns of wallet usage. Routing these queries through Tor breaks that link, reducing metadata leakage and strengthening privacy for shielded ZEC usage. We also intend to use Tor where possible for future integrations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watch ECC\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/str4d\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jack Grigg<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, one of the original developers of the Zcash protocol, explain the significance of the Tor feature<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tor(ARTI) + Zcash: Zashi 2.1\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VrJnpvr5Kvk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><b>Notes<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Beta Feature:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Tor protection is a beta feature and may affect wallet performance, which is why we\u2019ll be monitoring all user feedback very closely.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Controls:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This feature can be managed in Zashi\u2019s Advanced Settings.

While the term \u201cprivacy\u201d is being watered down and co-opted by corporations built on harvesting user data, our goal is different: true privacy. For us, it\u2019s not a buzzword or a marketing gimmick; it\u2019s a principle that drives every decision, down to the smallest technical detail.
