Secret Network (ZEC + Secret from One Seed)

NozyWallet can optionally derive Secret Network (SCRT) keys from the same BIP39 mnemonic as your Zcash Orchard wallet — one backup, two shielded ecosystems.

Status: Optional CLI feature. Build with --features secret-network. Not enabled in default desktop release builds.

One seed, two chains

ChainWhat you get
ZcashOrchard unified addresses (u1…), shielded ZEC
Secret NetworkSCRT + SNIP-20 / Shade tokens via Shade Protocol integration

The mnemonic is identical; derivation paths differ per chain. One 24-word backup recovers both when the feature is enabled.

Build and enable

cargo build --release --features secret-network --bin nozy

Requires network access to Secret RPC endpoints configured in your environment (see repo research doc below).

CLI (nozy shade)

After building with the feature:

nozy shade balance      # SCRT / token balances
nozy shade receive      # Deposit address
nozy shade send         # Send SCRT or tokens (subcommands vary by build)
nozy shade history      # Transaction history

Run nozy shade --help for the exact subcommands in your version.

Desktop and mobile

  • Desktop: ZEC-first; Secret UI is not the default shipping surface.
  • Mobile / FFI: Shared nozy core patterns; Secret paths follow CLI feature flags.

Security notes

  • Same rules as ZEC: never share mnemonic.
  • Secret RPC endpoints are trust assumptions — use nodes you control or explicitly trust.
  • Optional integration code may lag core ZEC paths; treat as experimental until listed in release notes.
