Zcash Wallet Zodl Launches Self-Operated Servers, Integrating OHTTP to Prevent Linking IP Addresses to Wallet Requests

November 9: Zcash wallet Zodl has begun rolling out wallet infrastructure operated by ZODL. The infrastructure integrates the IETF standard Oblivious HTTP (OHTTP) in partnership with Cloudflare and Fastly. Wallet requests are first forwarded through independent relays operated by Cloudflare or Fastly; the relays can see the user's IP address but not the encrypted request content, while ZODL processes the requests but cannot see the originating IP, so it cannot directly link wallet requests to IP addresses. Previously, Zodl relied on community-operated lightwallet servers. The new infrastructure will roll out gradually on Android and iOS over the coming week, with the F-Droid and GitHub versions released later this week; users need to update to version 3.20.0.
