CAUTIONWallet keys and activity stay local to Zodl, but CrossPay, NEAR Intents swap routing, transparent-address interactions, app stores, crash reporting, and Flexa merchant checkout can expose metadata to third parties.

Analysis

OVERVIEW

Zodl carries forward the Zashi wallet under new branding from Electric Coin Company, the organization behind Zcash, combining a shielded ZEC wallet with CrossPay and Flexa merchant spend and no wallet-account KYC surface found.

LIMITS

Electric Coin Company's entire engineering team resigned in January 2026, and the record says post-resignation development continuity is uncertain; it also names a separate ECC board advisor investigated by the US Department of Justice for withholding FBI information about North Korea-linked developers on an unrelated codebase.

USEFUL FOR

Shielded Zcash spending and Flexa merchant payments for users tracking Zodl's post-transition development.
