ZCash Engineering Office Hours: Building Zcash Apps

​Join me, @shieldedmark as I "learn by teaching" about building Zcash applications.

​Zcash Global Discord: https://discord.gg/zcash

​This session is intended to be a practical walkthrough of the design choices as we move beyond “accept ZEC” and start building privacy-native experiences.

​We’ll cover:

• ​Choosing the right integration depth: transparent payments vs shielded-first designs

• ​The core primitives you’ll use in real apps: addresses, memos, viewing keys (and what they don’t give you)

• ​UX and operational constraints to plan for: wallet flows, scanning/sync costs, confirmations, fees, and light-client limits

• ​...and perhaps more, based on Q&A

​The goal is to leave with clear mental model and next steps you can implement immediately.

​Audience: builders integrating payments, app developers, and anyone exploring privacy-preserving product design with Zcash.
