Prerequisites

• Zebra-family RPC node — Zebrad or Zakura on http://127.0.0.1:8232 (or configure a custom URL). See Zebra Node Setup or Zakura Node Setup.

Build from Source

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/LEONINE-DAO/Nozy-wallet.git
cd Nozy-wallet

# Build the release version
cargo build --release

# The binary will be in target/release/nozy (or nozy.exe on Windows)

Install with Cargo

# Install directly from GitHub
cargo install --git https://github.com/LEONINE-DAO/Nozy-wallet.git

# Or install from a local clone
cd Nozy-wallet
cargo install --path .

Setting Up Zebra Node

NozyWallet requires a connection to a Zebra RPC node to interact with the Zcash blockchain.

Option 1: Use Public Node (Easiest)

NozyWallet can connect to a public Zebra node. Configure the node URL in your wallet settings:

• Default: http://127.0.0.1:8232
• Public node: https://zec.leoninedao.org:443 (if available)

Option 2: Run Your Own Node (Most Private)

For maximum privacy, run your own Zebra node:

# Install Zebra (Zcash Foundation's node implementation)
# See: https://zebra.zfnd.org/user/install.html

# Run Zebra with RPC enabled
zebrad start --rpc-bind-addr 127.0.0.1:8232
