Is Electrum ZEC a browser wallet?

No. Electrum ZEC is presented here as a desktop crypto wallet, with download entries for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Should I verify release files?

Yes. Check signatures, hashes, and release notes before running downloaded wallet software.

Where should I learn about shielded Zcash?

Start with the internal Zcash guide on the docs page. It keeps address context, shielded behavior, and wallet-safety notes next to the release information.

Where does source and provenance information belong?

Source, maintainer-key, and release-channel details belong on the docs page beside signatures and checksums, so users can inspect one verification route.

What is the difference between Zcash and ZEC?

Zcash is the protocol and network. ZEC is the coin used as the unit for balances, sends, and fees.

Does this page explain every privacy feature?

No. It keeps the front page short and links to the internal Zcash guide for shielded and transparent address details.

Which links should I trust for protocol information?

Use the release manifest and verification notes on this site first. Any future external protocol or source link should be treated as a separate trust boundary.

Can I use transparent and shielded contexts?

Zcash supports both contexts, but wallet support and user experience depend on the client. Check the project documentation before sending funds.

Where do release notes belong?

Release notes should stay next to downloads and verification links, so the install path is easy to inspect.

Is this an official Zcash site?

No. It is an Electrum ZEC release page with internal docs, checksum manifests, and verification notes.
