New in Zashi: Hola (and more)

This week, our latest Zashi update includes a host of usability and security enhancements, along with some crucial bug fixes. But one feature we are particularly excited about is the introduction of Spanish localization.

Zashi Speaks Spanish Now

The passion and dedication of the Latin American community have been a cornerstone of support for Zcash. To recognize the importance of our Spanish-speaking users, we have localized the Zashi app into Spanish. This update is for you—our friends who have shown immense loyalty and enthusiasm for Zcash. A big shoutout to all of you! Your energy and commitment have tremendously enriched our ecosystem, and we look forward to deepening our collaboration with you.

Translating Zashi into Spanish marks our first step towards optimizing Zcash UX for LATAM users. We will continue to explore ways to bring seamless ZEC payments to this vital region.

Usability and Security Updates

Alongside Spanish localization, this update brings several other important changes aimed at improving both usability and security:

Back-to-Back Payments

Prior to this update, users sometimes had to wait before making successive transactions. Now, we’ve implemented advanced note management to allow for consecutive outgoing transactions, significantly reducing spend latency. This will be particularly beneficial for users planning to make frequent ZEC payments via integrations that support spending ZEC.

Address Book Encryption

To address the security issue discovered in iOS last week, we’ve encrypted Zashi’s address book. This ensures that even if your data is backed up to iCloud, your contacts’ information remains protected and inaccessible to anyone but you.
