Privacy-oriented cryptocurrency Zcash has been approved on the Apple App Store via Jaxxs iOS platform.

According to the official announcement, Jaxx, a multi-token blockchain wallet, was the first wallet to integrate Zcash and is excited to now have the cryptocurrency available on its iOS platform. Also, Apple follows a rigorous approval process, particularly for allowing cryptocurrencies onto the App Store. The iPhone makers approval of Zcash signifies that it is a fast-growing and well-respected technology.

Jaxx is a very simple, easy-to-use wallet and the team behind it has been a pleasure to work with. Im delighted that thanks to them, hundreds of millions of iPhone users can, for the first time send and receive Zcash from their phones, Zooko Wilcox, CEO of the company behind Zcash development, Zerocoin Electric Coin Company, said.

Jaxx also revealed that it is in talks with Zcash on the possibility of supporting ZEC shielded addresses. Currently, Jaxx supports transparent addresses which behave similarly to Bitcoin, publishing transaction data publicly to the blockchain. It explained that while the use of shielded addresses by others provide greater privacy for transparent addresses compared to Bitcoin, official support for shielded addresses in Jaxx will significantly enhance capabilities for users.

The privacy aspect of their [Zcash] technology meshes really well with Jaxxs philosophies. Weve been working on a Zcash-integrated iOS version for a long time and were over the moon that Zcash has been approved on the App Store, Anthony Diiorio, CEO of Jaxx, said. Zcash is a very well run project and its been an absolute pleasure to work with Zooko and team. We look forward to continuous collaboration between our two projects, especially for when we implement Zcashs shielded addresses.

In addition to Jaxx, Zcash also announced its integration on a second wallet, SmartWallet, a Brazilian money application.
