Zcash Names Make Private Payments Easier to Send

Zcash Names opens Early Access today, giving people who reserved names the first opportunity to register them and use names such as alice instead of long Zcash addresses.

A Zcash name makes sending private digital money more like sending money to a username in a payment app. A sender can enter a name in their Zcash wallet instead of copying a long address or scanning a QR code.

Payments use Zcash’s shielded system, allowing the name to be shared publicly while keeping the sender, receiver, and amount hidden from public view on the blockchain.

Zcash Names is intended to close one of the usability gaps between cryptocurrency and payment apps while allowing peer-to-peer payments without a financial intermediary.

Fourteen wallets, explorers, and other apps, including Cake, Edge, Noir, and Zingo, integrated Zcash Names during earlier beta releases. A name can be used across participating apps rather than being tied to one wallet. An SDK is available to support integrations, and an explorer lets people resolve names to addresses and view the history of a name.

Early Access begins October 15, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Eastern for people who reserved a name.

Reservations cost 0.005 ZEC and provide access to the registration queue. Reservations can be made until the queue closes.

Yearly registration starts at $20 for names of six characters or longer and increases for shorter names, up to $10,000 a year for a single-character name.
