CAUTIONYWallet is deprecated and receives only security and protocol updates. The maintainer recommends ZKool as the successor for Zcash. The repository says YWallet still works and does not support the stronger claim that Zcash support ended after Ironwood. Wallet data remains local, but privacy also depends on the selected lightwalletd server and whether transparent addresses are used.

Analysis

OVERVIEW

YWallet runs on iOS, Android and desktop with full shielded ZEC and Ycash support, encrypted memos and fast sync, maintained by pseudonymous developer Hanh and funded entirely through Zcash Community Grants.

LIMITS

Actual privacy depends on which shielded address type and lightwallet server the user picks, plus their own operational security, rather than being automatic, and the project has no corporate entity behind the single pseudonymous maintainer.

USEFUL FOR

Shielded-by-default Zcash and Ycash use across mobile and desktop, from a project with no corporate entity behind it.
